Promoting Dignity. Supporting Comfort. Improving Quality of Life.
Continence care is a sensitive and essential aspect of health and social care. When delivered well, it protects dignity, promotes comfort and reduces health risks. When delivered poorly, it can cause distress, harm and loss of confidence. Our Continence Care in Health and Social Care course equips care staff with the knowledge, awareness and confidence to support individuals with continence needs in a respectful, person-centred and professional way. This training helps staff deliver care that prioritises dignity, choice and wellbeing.
