The UK Health and Learning Disability Network gives members access to a national community of people interested in health and people with learning disabilities, including nurses, doctors, therapists, commissioners and even professors! A recent survey found that of the 2,228 members of the Network, three-quarters have worked in the learning disability field for 10 or more years.
The network aims to assist health practitioners in both mainstream and specialist services with the health and learning disability agenda and concentrates on problem solving, information sharing and networking.

The value of the Network has been recognised in the support it has received from all 10 strategic Health Authorities across England and the other UK nations which means that its future is now secured until 2011.
