Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine - sufficient to cause social and/or hygiene consequences. This condition may be permanent or temporary. The Continence/Urology Nurse Clinician works closely with the Geriatricians and Urologists to provide support and counselling to patients with urinary incontinence. Additionally, they also provide pre & post operative assessment and management for patients undergoing total removal of bladder and/or prostate.
