About this course
This eLearning course aims to introduce you to the topic of managing continence in Health and Social Care.
It begins by describing the different types of incontinence, the common causes of incontinence and the effect that problems with continence can have on an individual. The course then describes the importance of encouraging an individual to express their preferences about their continence needs and describes ways that lifestyle can affect continence. The course also outlines the roles of different professionals in helping to manage continence.
The learner will then be introduced to the different types of continence equipment available, and learn how to support their use.

Level 3 AET was incredible. Loved it
"I loved the entire process as it was well supported with resources and templates. I enjoyed filling out the booklet and learning new things. The professional discussion with Zoe was the highlight of the program. It's just so good to talk to a fellow trainer outside of work and learn from each other. Highly recommend the course of level 3 AET!"
