Learning disability nursing has had an interesting history over recent decades. Despite many predictions of it being replaced it has survived to engage in a variety of roles in contemporary learning disability services. This book acknowledges the position of the profession and discusses its current position within nursing, and within learning disability services. Education is an essential building block to achieving this. However, it is important to consider the context within which learning disability nursing works, the importance of life long and multi-professional education and the role of the learning disability nurse as educator.
