I am a Continence Nurse Specialist for Select Nursing Services. I have worked in the continence arena for over 9 years. In that time, I have been Clinical Lead of two major City Continence services and have been involved in the development of community-based continence clinics. My focus has been the assessment, diagnosis and management of patients with continence symptoms. 

I have been instrumental in the creation of referral pathways between primary and secondary care, implementing the development and delivery of education modules to primary, secondary and tertiary care nurses.

My role within Select Nursing Services covers many remits: I am looking to establish, develop and maintain relationships with local continence and urology nurses. The way in which I wish to do this is through bringing together many elements of support.

I will initiate treatments or interventions as agreed by a referring NHS Trust and conduct patient assessments and user reviews where appropriate within those Trusts. I can also provide specialist continence support in SCI, MS, Urology, Continence and Gynaecology.

My advice is entirely impartial and I can teach, formally and informally, within clinical areas at the request of local continence and urology nurses in order to facilitate an unbiased and well-rounded approach to continence needs and education.

My role is to support clinicians in delivering the best possible outcomes for patients and I am available to provide help and assistance on all levels, outlined above.
