Daytime urinary incontinence in children: The new guidance
11 Nov 2026, 12:30 - 14:00
Choose event information:
Functional daytime urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common among children and teenagers and can have a significant impact on their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
Until the recent publication of the new RCN Guidance, there has been no single, evidence-based resource to support clinicians in the assessment and management of functional daytime urinary incontinence in this population.
This webinar will:
- Explore the prevalence and impact of functional daytime urinary incontinence and LUTS in children and teenagers.
- Introduce the new RCN Guidance and its key recommendations.
- Consider how the guidance can be applied to clinical practice.
- Highlight practical approaches to assessment and management.
- Explore how clinicians can support improved outcomes and experiences for children, teenagers and their families.
