Abstract
When discussing continence care in an acute hospital setting, it can be viewed as a negative subject that is a thinly veiled jab at overstretched nurses. This article takes a fresh and holistic look at continence care, identifying factors that could be causing poor care and how technology could support a change in care. This article includes suggestions on how the data collected could be used to deliver the person-centred care outcomes that may be lacking in some environments, something that one of the authors (DP) has experienced first hand. This article describes the results of a recent trial at Ysbyty Cwm Cynon (Canon Valley Hospital), NHS Wales, which looked at how continence care technology could support positive care outcomes.
