The Importance of patient-centred care in neurogenic bladder and bowel management
Manage episode 322293040 series 3324778
Welcome to the 12th episode of series two of ‘SCI Care: What really matters’ and the third collaborative episode between the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) and Wellspect®.
In this podcast episode, we follow on from the recent webinar on the 'Importance of patient-centred care in neurogenic bladder and bowel management’, continuing the discussion with a particular focus on clinical practice.
Host Mr Grant Friedrich, Clinical Relations Manager for Wellspect Healthcare, is joined by Dr Ammirati, a medical doctor at the Complex Structure of Neuro-Urology of the Orthopedic Trauma Centre / Unipolar Spinal Unit of the "Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino", and Veronika Geng, Head of the Advisory Centre for Nutrition and Digestion for Spinal Cord Injured People in Lobbach, Germany. The discussion focusses on the advantages of patient-centred care in neurogenic bladder and bowel management, the importance of adherence to bladder and bowel management, and possible ways to improve adherence to bladder and bowel management. The panellists agree that the practitioner's role in the patient's journey is to guide, educate, and negotiate with the patient, ensuring they are included in all steps along the way as they navigate how to live with a spinal cord injury. By keeping the patient part of their healthcare decision-making process, goals will be realistic and the person’s individual and specific needs will be met.
The Vision of ISCoS is to "facilitate healthy and inclusive lives for people with spinal cord injury or dysfunction globally". Partnership and collaboration are key in helping us to realise this vision.
We are delighted that we have been able to partner with Wellspect on an inspiring and informative collection of webinars and podcasts.
We hope you enjoy listening.
