title: Client attachment in learning disabilities nurse education.
abstract: This paper describes the method by which the learning disabilities branch programme in Southampton has been adapted to reflect educational and practical changes. Emphasis is placed on integrating theory and practice through giving students extended contact with a caseload of patients with the support of a tutor and mentors. The authors report on the initial difficulties and benefits resulting from the new programme.
