Paediatric continence in children with neuropathic bladders

Abstract

Over the last 8 years in Nottingham we have been developing a comprehensive teaching package for children requiring clean intermittent catheterization. Clean intermittent catheterization can be a traumatic procedure to undertake for both the child and carers. Our aim is to support the child from home to hospital providing a link service from our community colleagues through to the child's consultant. Over a number of years we have expanded our knowledge and care, writing information booklets and preparing photographic demonstrations of techniques and operations which some of our children require. We have now developed a communication network for schools, helping them to support these children in their daily life.
