Intermittent catheterisation : individuals’ rights, accessibility, and environmental concerns
Intermittent catheterisation (IC) is the mainstay for bladder management in individuals living with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), but many are not receiving the best evidence-based standard of IC care available. To garner opinion on individuals’ rights to access IC (including the best available care), representatives from disability organisations (Spinal Cord Injury [SCI] British Columbia, and SCI Ontario, QuadPara Association of South Africa [QASA], and Spina bifida en hydrocephalus [SBH] Nederland) and multidisciplinary experts from the global medical community came together for a ‘meeting of minds’; the aim was to discuss how to improve the lives of individuals living with NLUTD. This article summarises their combined opinion.
