ISC Training

Intermittent Self-Catheterisation Training for UK Nurses

We have launched a new accredited catheter training course for nurses that are looking to upskill themselves in administering ISC. We have developed a course that will give you the specialist skills required to give your ISC patients the support they require. This free course is split into 4 modules held over 5 weeks. Please note: participants must be UK residents.

Accredited by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN)

This course has been accredited by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). This is a mark of quality and means the contents of the course has demonstrated commitment to the highest standards for continuous education for healthcare professionals. We are delighted to be aligned to the reputation that the Royal College of Nursing has.

Your Healthcare Professional Trainer

The course is delivered virtually by Specialist Urology Nurses in an interactive style to small groups. You will develop the competence and the confidence to teach ISC to your patients. Learn more about the course from Marie by watching the below video.

“Our culture guides us in the quality of service we provide and the care with which we go about it, and it’s what makes Fittleworth such a special place to work. The warmth and welcome from associates were a huge draw to wanting to be part of the company’s future. It’s one of the rare companies where people do what they say they do, always putting the client's needs first.”

You will learn the specialist skills required to articulate clearly to, advise and teach a patient:

• The risks and benefits associated with ISC
• The underlying indications for ISC
• The anatomy and physiology/pathophysiology of the lower urinary tract
• The measures required for infection prevention and control
• The range of different catheters; types, sizes, individual characteristics
• The ISC procedure for females & males
• Awareness of potential complications
• Recognise the indicators which would suggest the frequency for ISC
• The risk and identification of UTI; signs, symptoms and action to be taken
• The impact of ISC
• Evaluation of patient progress and adjustments to management if required
• Responsible use and ordering of equipment required

I just want to say a massive thank you to the lovely staff who managed to get my delivery out to me with very short notice. Due to my surgery not sending the prescription back it meant the order was processed at the last minute and put out for special delivery to be with me before 10 this morning as I was due to leave at 1 for a hospital appointment. It turned up about 15 minutes ago. I am extremely grateful. The staff at Fittleworth are always so friendly and helpful, just wish my doctors surgery could be more active to save you a lot of extra work.
