Community Learning Disability Nursing Team (CLDT)

We are a group of Specialist Learning Disability Nurses based in the Community Learning Disability Teams (CLDT's).

Our service is for adults over 18 with a diagnosis of an intellectual (learning) disability. We work closely with other health professionals.

Community nurses can help with:

• emotional and behavioural needs
• understanding your own physical health needs
• Communication
• Dementia
• Sexual health needs
• getting the right help you need from all health services
• Mindfulness

 

We will talk to you about the help you need and how we can support you. This may include:

• working with your family and support staff
• giving you advice
• working with Adult Services and other agencies
• Working with other health professionals e.g. doctor, hospital, dentist etc

 

We can give you advice about physical and mental health conditions. We can assess your health needs. We might work with you as an individual, or in a group.
