About the course

The Continence & Catheter Care course provides essential training for healthcare professionals involved in managing patients with catheters. This course is designed to ensure that participants understand the physiological reasons for catheterisation, are aware of the associated risks, and are equipped with the skills necessary to provide effective catheter care. Through this training, you will gain knowledge on best practices for infection control, urine sampling, and proper record-keeping to enhance patient safety and comfort.
