So nearly a nurse - Foundation of Nursing Studies In her last week of placement, Michelle Powell shared her reflections on becoming a nurse and all that she has learnt

Delighted to share this poem from Michelle Powell, written with just a week left on placement in her RNLD Degree Apprenticeship at NTU.

A preventable death. A disappearing workforce.

By 2028, there may be no newly qualified learning disability nurses. People with #learningdisabilities deserve better.

Specialist care saves lives. We need urgent investment—now.

I genuinely love my job all year round but during December it's unbelievably good, we have had a christmas fete, Elf antics, christmas crafts and baking and all the while getting our families involved and improving our service user experiences 🥰 #LDnursing #betteroutcomes #happyvibes

That is terribly concerning. Do you link in with Aaron Hulme & are you aware that the actor #TommyJessop is our #LDnursing ambassador now. We need media exposure of this crisis

Thank you Lincoln! Amazing how much this hashtag has grown to promote #LDNursing. Very proud! #chooseLDNursing #SocialMovement

Tomorrow I will be in London co chairing the learning disabilities nurses workforce summit and talking about the future of nursing #socialcare #ldnursing #nhs
