Wounds / Continence: Strategies, interventions and devices to provide clinically effective and patient concordant management of faecal incontinence in acute settings.
This session will provide an interactive, knowledge development workshop, to aid clinicians, practising in acute settings, to provide clinically effective management of faecal incontinence in their patients. The presenters are currently running a programme of research with NHS partners in intensive care units in West Yorkshire, working with nursing staff in a nationally recognised practice development unit. The discussion will focus on analysis of current available evidence to support best practice; the findings, so far, of the research programme; and what those findings mean for deciding which intervention strategies to use , with which patients, and when. The latest faecal collection devices will be discussed in the context of the research and clinical practice, including prevention of infection, particularly of wounds.
