BioMed |
| The BioMed Centre was established in 1998, within the Bristol Urological Institute, with the purpose of improving the continence management of older and disabled people. With our collaborators, we aim to raise the profile of this common but hidden aspect of healthcare by: |
- engaging in a collaborative research programme to further scientific and medical understanding of the condition.
- reducing the recurrent complications of long-term catheterisation through the design and development of a new range of user-friendly devices and improved treatment protocols.
- creating a database of people with long-term catheters to involve users in research and innovation, improve their access to clinical trials and gather information that will lead to a better understanding of their needs.
- promoting continence training for healthcare professionals
