Why Study This Course?

Support workers may work with people who require assistance with Urinary Catheter Care. Responsibility for Urinary Catheter care would normally be undertaken by a person with nursing qualifications. Support workers who are responsible for limited care work under direction of a health worker.  They require relevant training although this work does not typically require specialist skills.
