This practical and timely book gives all the information required to implement care pathways for continence so that patients at all levels can have access to evidence based support and advice. It guides the reader through the pathway experience offering suggestions and advice on how to implement them locally, avoiding pitfalls, and incorporating case studies from Trusts who implement them.
