About a continence assessment
A continence assessment is a comprehensive clinical review designed to understand how bladder and bowel concerns affect an individual's health, comfort and everyday activities.
Our Continence Nurse Consultant considers a range of factors that may influence continence, including:
- Medical history and existing health conditions
- Bladder and bowel habits, patterns and routines
- Medications, fluid intake and lifestyle factors
- Mobility, functional ability and toileting independence
- Current continence products and management strategies
- Potential risks, including skin integrity concerns, infections and neurological conditions
The information gathered helps develop a clear understanding of individual needs and informs practical recommendations, personalised continence management plans and supporting clinical documentation where required.
