Nurse Continence Specialists

Every person in the whole wide world has a bladder and a bowel and in order to achieve the milestone of independent toileting they need to recognize how their bladder and bowel tell them when it is time to stop what they are doing and go to the toilet.

Learning to interpret these feelings as the need to wee or poo is known as interoception and many people with disabilities have trouble recognizing and/ or communicating those cues.

Continence First Nurse Continence Specialists work with people to fill in the gaps in their toileting skills so that they will sit happily on the toilet to wee and poo!
