Hi Jo
Is there a continence nurse specialist at your local hospital for advice?
We once had an continence nurse studied one of the units on our OH degree as
a "stand alone" basis - ie she was not registered on the total OH degree
programme. She was very interested in collaborative working with OHNs in
advising on continence issues- you may find a nurse specialist who has a
similar interest.
Best
