We have dedicated Learning Disabilities Acute Liaison Nurses (ALNs) based in each of our district general hospitals. The ALNs make it easier for patients with learning disabilities to access hospital services.
Where needed, they provide a point of contact to family and carers, as well as offering advice and guidance for patients and staff involved in providing their care. ALNs support patients to have as much control of their treatment as possible by ensuring they understand their diagnosis, treatment options and aftercare arrangements. Where patients lack capacity, they ensure care and treatment is done in their best interests and The Mental Capacity Act is followed.
ALNs support adults with learning disabilities, their families/carers and hospital staff to:
