Continence and Catheter Care

This programme, aimed at nursing staff and healthcare assistants across all care settings, aims to improve knowledge and awareness of all aspects of continence and catheter care. The programme includes discussion of the different types of incontinence and the therapies and treatments that can be offered to patients. Emphasis will be placed on avoiding catheterisation and on strategies for reducing the risk of catheter acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in situations where catheterisation is unavoidable. The elearning sessions should be used as an adjunct to face-to-face teaching sessions on catheterisation.
