Abstract:
All house officers perform male urethral catheterisation and although complications may occur awareness of the potential problems varies considerably. 43 house officers from 12 different medical schools were interviewed to determine the amount of training that they received regarding this procedure as students and during their first pre-registration post. The results suggest that there is no planned approach to teaching urethral catheterisation which would be in the interests of both junior doctors and patients alike.
