  The Continence Service offers:

  • Assessment and plan of care
  • Conservative management
  • Education regarding good bladder habits - fluids, diet
  • Pelvic Muscles Exercises
  • Bladder drill and deferment techniques
  • Teaching intermittent self-catheterisation, IDC care, self dilatation etc
