Bladder & Bowel UK webinar: The impact of incontinence on families and support networks, highlighting resources & supporting wellbeing for all affected.

This session is aimed at:

  • Community and hospital nurses
  • Support workers
  • Social care staff in residential, nursing, and domiciliary settings
  • Professionals in specialist bladder and bowel services

Through survey results and real-life case studies, we will explore the daily challenges faced by people living with incontinence and those who support them. The webinar will also highlight resources available to families and demonstrate how health and social care professionals can play a key role in supporting wellbeing and signposting to appropriate services.

Learning Objectives:

  • Increase awareness of the prevalence of incontinence and who is impacted
  • Develop understanding of the lived experiences of families supporting a loved one with incontinence
  • Improve knowledge of professional resources for managing incontinence
  • Raise awareness of resources that families and support networks can access directly
