Abstract
This article describes the application of advanced nursing practice within the field of learning disabilities. It discusses the difference between advanced practice and specialist practice and proposes that managers' perceptions of the role of advanced nurse practitioners (ANPs) within the management of developing services will need to change if such practitioners are to be effective. Six defined areas are explored to show how advanced nursing practice within learning disabilities may be developed to allow ANPs to assert their rightful position and influence.
