Addressing and acting on individual ideas on continence care

Continence care should be individually delivered with dignity, decorum, distinction in all diverse contexts and circumstances. From the dependency of childhood to ultimately the end of life, continence care is essential for all, no matter what the setting is: at home, sheltered structures, community care, residential settings and nursing homes. Person-centred care is central to healthcare policies, procedures to the provision of personalised consultation, developing a collaborative partnership approach to continence assessment, promotion, and management.
