Event details
Continence care is a cornerstone of person-centred nursing, yet it remains one of the most sensitive and often overlooked aspects of practice. Bladder and bowel problems affect millions across the UK, leading to discomfort, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life, while also carrying emotional consequences such as embarrassment and social isolation.
Nurses are uniquely placed to make a real difference. Early recognition, accurate assessment, and timely intervention can prevent complications, protect dignity, and promote recovery. Skilled continence care also reduces infection risk, skin damage, and unnecessary catheter use — all essential to improving safety and outcomes.
This webinar highlights continence as a fundamental element of safe, compassionate care. Through expert discussion, case studies and practical examples, nurses will explore structured assessment, first-line interventions, and communication techniques that empower patients and enhance quality of life.
