Health Professionals

The Bladder and Bowel Foundation works closely with healthcare professionals, providing information and support materials for patients to improve standards of diagnosis, management and care. We recognise that the partnership between patients and service providers is vital to improving knowledge and understanding.

B&BF will continue to promote a closer working relationship with all healthcare professionals involved, either directly or indirectly, in the care and support of people with bladder and/or bowel problems. By working together, we aim to raise awareness, improve the patient experience and make sure that everyone who needs it has free access to effective, modern help, enabling them to enjoy a greater quality of life.

We provide a range of educational resources and patient information for health professionals to use to support their patients and you can find details of these resources using the link boxes below. Our registered health professional supporter scheme will give you access to a range of online information and resources to read and download, as well as acccess to our Continence Clinic Database service and copies of our bi-annual magazine in the post. You will also receive discounts on any bulk orders of resources.

E-learning Modules - Discounts available for registerd supporters

The B&BF have worked together with Virtual College on the provision of an e-learning facility, available on our website to our Registered Health Professional supporters. We have also arranged for our health professional supporters to receive a discount on all training modules purchased. We currently have two e-learning modules available;-

The Management of Urinary Catheterisation for Adults and
The Assessment and Management of Urinary Incontinence and Bladder Dysfunction in Adults.

Both of these modules have benefits for the individual and the business. An invaluable learning resource that not only saves you money on external courses, but can also act as a refresher tool, to help you monitor and improve learning. Other benefits are:

• Training can be completed at a pace and time that suits you
• All courses are interactive and engaging with challenges and exercises that test understanding - no boring text on glass here!
• All courses are CPD accredited
• You'll have your own record which you can return to at any time and refresh your understanding
• On completion you'll receive a printable course certificate
• You can write and save notes
• Thousands of staff can be trained quickly and cheaply allowing you to reach more people with quality, consistent training whilst freeing up trainers for more complex subjects
• Flexible - Accessed via the Internet, training can be completed at a time that suits business need
• Monitor learner progress, set post course evaluations, online assessments and produce detailed reports easily exported to excel
• Upload local policies and procedures to learner's records. After a change of policy, simply upload the new guidance and all learner records will be automatically updated. You can even set a tick box for the learner to confirm that they have read and understood
