- W4232019110 abstract "I write this with a sense of sadness, as it will be my last Issue of the Journal as editor. It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to have been editor of this splendid Journal for the past 7 years. With my colleague, Dorothy Atkinson (who will continue as editor), I have seen the Journal grow and develop. New themes have begun to appear. There have been several papers on nursing, which we understand from website hits are extremely popular. A Special Issue on History in 2000 was a first for any UK disability Journal, and others are now following suit. There has been a growing interest in the emotional needs of people with learning disabilities, and this has been well reflected in BJLD. And there have been some really high quality papers on self-advocacy, inclusive and participatory research. A major innovation as I leave is the requirement that authors include an easy to read summary of their papers, as detailed in the Box on this page. This should be effective from 2005, and is in the spirit of making research findings more accessible to people with learning disabilities. It should also make scanning the Journal contents easier for all readers. BJLD Accessible Abstracts Guidelines for Authors (operative from 2005) Summarize what the paper says in at most three bullet points Express ideas in straightforward language Say why the research matters to people with learning disabilities A second exciting development is the ‘appointment’ of a panel of people with learning disabilities who will act as Book Reviewers, and Referees, where appropriate, convened by Sue Ledger and Lindsey Shufflebottom. They are especially interested in reviewing books which are intended to be accessible to people with learning disabilities. This is not an exclusive arrangement – if anyone else would like to join the panel of referees or book reviewers, just get in touch with Stella Allinson, address on inside cover. This is a particularly good Issue to go out on, with a range of really interesting papers, bearing witness to some of the developments I noted above. We start with a Keynote Review of Learning Disability Nursing, by Duncan Mitchell. Given the popularity of previous papers on this subject, I am sure it will be warmly welcomed. From this, we move onto a clutch of papers which address, in various ways, mental health issues. Hepper and Rose's description of the use of an inpatient child psychiatric service argues powerfully for ‘mainstream’ provision, and offers useful practical advice on working with children who experience mental distress. Van Waarde and van der Mast direct attention to a little explored condition in relation to learning disability, delirium, and make a convincing case for taking its diagnosis seriously, as it is treatable, if recognized, and if not, can be extremely distressing. The next papers retain a health-related theme. Timehin and Timehin offer a timely reminder that deafness or hearing impairment can easily go undetected in people with learning disabilities, and yet that this may explain some problematic behaviours. Relatively simple and inexpensive measures can enhance people's quality of life, if the need for regular audiology tests is taken seriously. P.S. Moore describes using ‘social stories’ to support children with autism in recognizing subtle social cues, and shows through a detailed case study, how this operated in the case of one child with quite pronounced intellectual impairment. The last two papers have a more abstract theme. Simon Whitaker explores labelling, but from an unusual angle. He shows that there are many people with learning disabilities who are unknown to services if the prevalence rates quoted in Valuing People are correct, and asks how important it is that these ‘hidden’ people are found. Dye, Hendy, Hare and Burton explore another taken for granted concept, ‘capacity to consent’, and argue for a more nuanced approach than a blanket dichotomy – yes or no. In the Reviews section we have a specially extended Book review in which Dr Tim Clement examines a book about a self-advocate led research project, and asks some searching questions about who did what. We also include a Conference Report on a splendid study by Katherine Owen of the flawed process of women moving out of a locked ward. Finally, I hope readers will bear with me if I take the space to thank my colleagues who have made my time as editor so enjoyable – the excellent team at Blackwells, particularly Fiona McLeod who does such a good job of copy editing and processing the papers; Stella Allinson, editorial administrator based here at the Open University whose efficiency, attention to detail and courtesy to all are exemplary; John Harris, BILD's Chief Executive, who has been such a delightfully supportive ‘boss’; the Editorial Board who are always both challenging and inspirational; the referees who do such a splendid job for no material reward; and last, but not least, my friends and colleagues at the Open University, Dorothy (my co-editor) and Sheena (Book Reviews Editor) whom I will sorely miss." @default.
