Abstract
Surgery for spinal deformity is complex and preparation involves a wide multidisciplinary team. For young people with learning disabilities, especially those who have behaviour that challenges, there are further considerations to ensure that their hospital stay is a positive experience and all their additional needs are met. Staff and carers need to be well informed and there must be effective communication. Evaluation of one patient's journey through pre-assessment, surgery and rehabilitation has identified the need for more input from learning disability liaison nurses in acute children's services.
