Continence Assessment
Our nurses conduct thorough continence assessments to understand your needs and develop a personalised management plan. Whether you need ongoing support, product advice, or a referral to a continence specialist, we approach this sensitive area of care with dignity, privacy, and respect.
What a continence assessment involves
- a private, respectful conversation about your needs
- a personalised management plan
- advice on continence products
- ongoing support if you need it
- a referral to a continence specialist where that would help
Dignity and privacy
Many people find this hard to talk about, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. We take the time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable at every step.
