Continence Assessment
A continence assessment is a detailed assessment of how a participant’s bladder and bowel are working, of any issues the participant has getting to, or using, the toilet, to work out if the participant has incontinence and what type of incontinence they have. There may be different factors that can cause problems with passing urine (wee) and faeces (poo). Some participant’s continence problem may be resolved with the right treatment, however, for some participant it may only be managed by consumables. A continence assessment can be attended face to face or by Telehealth. Part of the assessment can be completed in just one visit or some complex situation may need follow up visit to complete the assessment part.
