It’s all about the pad 2

  • Continence
Too often people living with dementia are assumed to be incontinent.

Key action points

  • Pads should only ever be used for someone with an established history of incontinence
  • Their inappropriate use is actually a cause of incontinence
  • Too often, they are used to allow the patient to fit in with the ‘toileting schedule’
Improving the quality and humanity of hospital care for people living with dementia.
