Abstract
Abstract This article reports the range of different teaching that enhances the learning environment for nursing students at Liverpool John Moores University with regards to their learning disability placement. It presents a model that proposes an approach by which Individuals with a learning disability can be involved in developing, planning, implementing and evaluating their own care. This work has been driven by the new standards handed down in 2010 by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the Department of Health, encouraging the participation of outside agencies and individuals who use health and social care in the development of our new nursing degree. This work is innovative because of the involvement of individuals who have a learning disability in teaching nursing students.
