What You'll Walk Away With
• A clear, practical framework for assessing urinary incontinence
• Confidence differentiating between key types of incontinence
• Simple, evidence-based strategies you can implement immediately
• Clear referral pathways and red flag identification
• Patient education tools to support better outcomes
Why This Matters in General Practice
Urinary incontinence is common, often underreported, and frequently managed late.
Many patients present after months or years of symptoms, often unsure where to seek help.
As a GP, you are uniquely positioned to:
• Identify symptoms early
• Initiate appropriate first-line management
• Provide reassurance and education
• Refer at the right time
