    When you start from the beginning of my family tale and the face drops as I go through losing both parents and interest turns to pity turns to not knowing where to put themselves and wishing they had never asked 😪 it’s easier just to gloss over it all and not go into it 😩

    When other fields do an LD placement try and accommodate somewhere a little more challenging with complex needs so people stop thinking we have an easy job because they went to the beach amd cinema for 2 weeks

    1/2 nursing handover was conducted behind a curtain, I learned highly sensitive details of every woman on the ward, when it came to us they discussed how awful it was to have * at her age and whether she was in care... felt terrified and desperate to be back in safety of peads

    I start my job as a newly qualified LD nurse on a paediatric ward in April and as the first LD nurse on the ward I really hope I can start to make a difference for the children, young people and their families with learning disabilities and autism

    Having some sort of form/booklet which families, Carers and service users can fill out together and tell us what they would like from our support, prior to initial screenings and interventions. Enable a more active approach to person and family centred support.
