- 3. Paul Vaughan, Directorof Nursing at NHS England: #NursingNowEngland #WeLDNs We’re celebrating the amazing work in learning disability nursing today, and developing work that we will pull together in one space under the Nursing Now England banner. We need to look at how we recruit more people in to LD nursing, and how we make sure LD nursing has the profile it deserves. We need to make sure people with LD are not marginalised: that they are equal partners in shaping their care when they need it. How many people know there is a branch of nursing for learning disabilities? We need to ignite the passion in current workforce; to inspire young people to choose a career in nursing. We have to change the messages about nursing in the media. We need to think about how we influence policy makers and the politicians to think differently about nursing. We need nursing to be on the table from the beginning – on the front foot. The challenge is often that ‘nurses don’t understand how to make policy’ – and we need to show that’s not true We need everyone’s help to shape the narrative. There is so much work that has already been done - we need to think about why it isn’t getting the traction that it needs - and how do we get a stronger voice? The background: Professor Jane Cummings launched Transforming Perceptions of Nursing and Midwifery in March 2018 – engaging people through social media, and workshops. It’s now Nursing Now England (launched December 2018) and Transforming Perceptions of Midwifery (launched January 2019). It’s predicted that by 2030 there will be a shortage of 9 million nurses globally. Other workstreams include men in nursing; BME, addressing racism in the NHS; and mental health nursing. We’re all part of #teamCNO!
- 4. In the roomare people who aren’t learning disabilities nurses - these are critical friends, and who are there to help you – embrace them! Helen Bevan set the context for the day It’s a day of deep thinking, and helping people realise how brilliant learning disabilities nursing is.
- 5. Ethos for theday This is not your usual conference or workshop, it is a specially designed process which enables a depth and quality of output that would usually be unachievable in such a short timeframe...we’ll do three months’ worth of work today.

- 8. There is growingawareness of the role of learning disabilities nurses, thanks in large part to the advocacy work of parents. The opportunities outweigh the challenges. We need to network more. This gives us strength and encouragement – unity.

- 17. • There isa lack of understanding of the role of LD nurses and of people with a LD • “No evolution without revolution!” • LD nurses are disabled by association, invisible. There is a fear of the role and of the patients. • Offer the hand of collaboration. • LD nurses are seen as not clever enough – by association • We are evolving – the revolution isn’t happening. • Midwives have been practitioners in their own right for ages. • Used to be regulated by Royal College of Psychiatrists • Lack of LD leadership in corridors of power • If not now, when? We want to be more, not have more. Helen Laverty and Alice Waddington reflected on the Five Whys

- 32. We didn’t wantto reinvent the wheel – it’s about connecting people and joining up the dots. We’ve drawn up an action plan that will feed in to what’s done today. We’re also sharing this card. We need to change the narrative of learning disabilities. “If you build it they will come” – like the field of dreams. We know what brought us to learning disabilities nursing, we know what keeps us in learning disabilities nursing, - we need to attract others – we need to build that field of dreams. Closing words from Helen Laverty
- 33. #NursingNowEngland #WeLDNs LD nursingis unique and special. People say they haven’t got the power – but they do! We need to think how we get our thinking to 25% Find your superconnectors! The most influential are usually not senior people. You have so much potential! Now is the time to take the power.
- 34. Closing remarks fromPaul Vaughan There are lots of ways to get involved: become a nurse ambassador; take part in the monthly challenges. There are no nurse leaders with huge followers on social media – it’s always doctors! We need to change this. 2019 marks 100 years of LD nursing – we need to think about how we link up with that. 2020 is the year of the nurse. We need to ensure LD nursing has a big voice as part of that. We can help support you to get the messages out! We will make it happen together.
