Male Catheterisation Awareness Level 2 Training Resources

Male Catheterisation Awareness for Care and Support Staff

This pack explains what male catheterisation is, who is authorised to perform it and how care staff safely support individuals with catheter care without carrying out the clinical procedure.

All files editable, so you can tailor it as required

Male catheterisation is not the same as Conveens - conveens are one option for urinary management in men, but they are not catheterisation.
