Abstract
From September 2018–June 2019, I was fortunate enough to undertake a research internship with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). My chosen topic was ‘people with learning disabilities accessing maternity services'. This was because, through 19 years of clinical practice, I identified an increasing number of women and families with learning disabilities presenting for care in my Trust, but found no specific mention of learning disabilities in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (2019) guidelines, nor a standard definition within which to work. This led me to reflect on my experience and how midwives can assist women and families with learning disabilities. This refelection has been guided by Gibbs (1988) .
