Abstract
International studies have shown poor uptake of public health initiatives by people with learning disabilities. In addition, studies have shown that people with learning
disabilities experience poor access to public health services. The contribution of community learning disability nurses in meeting the public health needs of people with learning disabilities has evolved differently across the UK resulting inconflicting understanding of this role. This paper reports on a study that explored
and explained the contribution of community learning disability nurses in the implementation of public health policies for people with learning disabilities. The
study demonstrates that community learning disability nurses are involved in health surveillance, health promotion, health facilitation, health prevention and protection, health education, and healthcare delivery.
