Course Overview 

Urinary catheterisation requires a careful balance of anatomical precision, strict infection prevention, and absolute patient dignity. The Urinary Catheterisation course offers an interactive, step-by-step training framework for both male and female procedures. From pre-procedural assessments and choosing between intermittent, Foley, or suprapubic options to navigating complex anatomical barriers, this module establishes an unshakeable standard for patient safety and procedural comfort. 

Why This Course Matters 

Improper insertion techniques can result in lasting urethral trauma, false passages, and severe catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Because catheters present inherent clinical risks, understanding strict clinical indications and maintaining a flawless aseptic field is essential for protecting vulnerable patients. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

An essential skill-building module for introductory and intermediate clinical practitioners:

  • Medical, nursing, and healthcare assistant students
  • Junior doctors and physician associates across surgical, ward, or emergency tracks
  • Registered nurses responsible for insertion, long-term care, and complication monitoring
  • Allied clinicians looking to refresh their infection prevention standards and technical skillsets

COURSE FORMAT

  • Flexible E-learning: Self-paced remote learning with interactive cases and guided explanations.
  • Face-to-Face Teaching: Classroom-based workshops with facilitated discussion, case application, and clinician-led teaching.

KEY FEATURES

  • Anatomy & Equipment Matrix: Navigate the distinct variances of male and female pelvic anatomy, alongside selecting proper catheter types and sizes.
  • Complication Mitigation Systems: Learn proactive strategies to eliminate urethral trauma, bypass bladder spasms, and identify early signs of systemic infection.
  • Video Mastery Guides: Analyse real-world procedural videos demonstrating flawless securement, appropriate lubrication, closed drainage setup, and common error traps.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Perform male and female urinary catheterisation using an uncompromising aseptic technique.
  • Establish appropriate clinical justifications for catheter insertion and prompt timely removal.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical complications, blockages, and complex drainage issues safely.

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT

This training balances manual dexterity with an emphasis on patient dignity and communication. It explicitly highlights common procedural errors through video analysis, training you to spot and correct technical slips before they impact the patient.
