Abstract:
The NHS strives to create and promote a safe environment for patient care in which risks are minimised. Urinary catheterisation is a common healthcare procedure but it is an invasive intervention that carries the risk of infection.

This article looks at evidence-based guidance and technological innovations aimed at reducing infection risks and improving patient outcomes.
