Learning diversity in nurse education and practice - Current challenges, contemporary perspectives and innovative solutions

The number of students identified as having additional and diverse learning needs entering higher education in the UK has increased significantly in the few decades (The Higher Education Statistics Agency, 2013). This trend is also reported internationally as the education sector responds to legislative and societal changes in diverse student populations (Azzopardi et al., 2013; Troxel, 2010). Similarly, the number of students who have diverse learning needs choosing to enter nurse education has shown an increase (Howlin et al., 2014; Hargreaves et al., 2014; Wray et al 2012).
