The NHS spends millions of pounds each year on hospital admissions and prescriptions for continence issues which would not be required if the right management was initiated sooner.
Raising staff awareness and enhancing skills, along with more resources dedicated to managing bladder and bowel conditions, would lead both to financial savings for the NHS and an improved quality of life for patients.
Who is this event aimed at?
General Nurses, student nurses and support workers from general, acute, psychiatric and elderly wards, care homes, social care, prisons and the community.
