A Registered Intellectual Disability Nurse (RNID), also known as a Registered Nurse in Intellectual Disabilities (RNID), is a highly specialised nurse who provides healthcare for disabled patients in Ireland and comprehensive care and support to individuals with intellectual disabilities. 

Their role encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including assessing patients' unique needs, developing tailored care plans, administering medical treatments, and facilitating access to various support services. RNIDs also offer emotional and behavioural support, ensuring that patients with intellectual disabilities can lead fulfilling, high-quality lives. Their compassionate and patient-centred approach plays a vital role in enhancing the well-being and overall development of their patients.

The Registered Intelectual Disability Nurse who works with persons with an intellectual disability has a diversity of roles, from intensive physical nursing of individuals with profound and complex disabilities to providing guidance and support in the management of children, adolescents and adults for the purpose of optimising the life and health of the individual.

Registered Nurses in Intellectual Disability (RNID) are at the forefront in promoting the physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual and social care needs of people with an intellectual disability across all age groups.

A guiding philosophy of Intellectual Disability Nursing practice is person centred care and support with respect and consideration to equity and human rights at its core.
