ABROAD #10: Providing Support to Adults with a Learning Disability with Christina Merchant-Brown.
Show Notes

Welcome to Season 3, in which I'll be travelling around Europe to interview a variety of guests in person throughout 2023!

Today I spoke with Christina Merchant-Brown, who is an Acute Liaison Nurse at Croydon University Hospital in London, which is where I am currently working. 

Christina's role at the hospital is to offer support and guidance to clinicians who are treating an adult with a learning disability at the hospital. She's very experienced in this field and offered some incredible insight !

We chat about the implications of having a learning disability, some practical tips to keep those with a learning disability engaged, how you can upskill yourself to be more comfortable working with those with a learning disability, and much more.

If you enjoy the show, please leave a review ; it's a massive help to get it out there to more people! For my top 3 clinical pearls, news, infographics and more, head to @clinical.pearls on Instagram!
