Learning disability nurses assess the needs of children and young people with a learning disability, and work with them to develop, deliver and monitor programmes of care and support to meet their needs.
The Learning Disability and Autism Teams at Bristol NHS Foundation Trust can support with admissions to hospital for appointments, procedures or emergency admissions. They can meet your child/young person and make sure adjustments are being put in place to support their hospital experiences and ensure they receive the care they need.
For children and young people accessing Bristol Royal Hospital for Children under the age of 18, find more information about the Paediatric Disability Team (including learning disabilities and autism) on the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children website.
For young people aged 16 and over being seen at adult sites of Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, you can find more information on Patient support | University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust or Learning Disability and Autism Liaison Nurses | North Bristol NHS Trust (Southmead Site).
