Workshop 2

Let’s Go Potty: Online Learning for Early Years

Beth Osborne, Early Years Consultant and Jessica Baugh, Senior Public Health Specialist, Bristol City Council

We know that children are being toilet trained later and that the most recent survey from Kindred Squared has highlighted that 1 in 4 children are starting school not able to use the  toilet independently.  Bristol City Council wanted to reverse this trend and came to ERIC for advice.

This workshop discusses a pilot project between Bristol Early Years, Public Health and ERIC and its impact.  The pilot includes the roll-out of a new online training resource for the early years sector across the City, plus along the way as we’ve engaged widely, we’ve developed a range of supporting initiatives  that join up with other services to promote good bladder & bowel health from birth.

Workshop 3

Current Best Practice in Nocturnal Enuresis Management (sponsored by Alturix)

Chaired by Brenda Cheer, Paediatric Specialist Continence Nurse & ERIC Nurse

This workshop will include a brief presentation by Brenda followed by a panel discussion on:

• Sharing of best practice in Paediatric Bladder and Bowel service design
• How to enhance patient experience and outcomes
• Empowering patients through joint decision making.
• Improving concordance and adherence to medication

It will finish with a short Q&A with the panel

Workshop 4

Treating Constipation, including the Importance of Toileting Routines 

Sarah Timms, Head of Family Services & Support and Hollie Baxter, Family Support & Helpline Advisor, ERIC

Once constipation has been diagnosed and laxatives prescribed, how can we use macrogol laxatives effectively for disimpaction and maintenance dose? We will explore the importance of toileting routines and how they can help with constipation and stool withholding.

Workshop 5

Making Pee and Poo Cool in School!!  

Nia Krijnen, Specialist Continence Nurse and Alaw Parry, School Nurse Continence at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board 

Interactive session on how to deliver a fun, informative teaching session for 9-11 year olds in school. What to provide as visual aids, costumes and the secret to getting on the right side of the Head Teacher!!!

Workshop 6

The updated children’s continence commissioning guide: supporting service development

Davina Richardson, Specialist Children's Nurse, Bladder & Bowel UK & Co-chair of Paediatric Continence Forum

Children’s bladder and bowel health remains a Cinderella service. This interactive workshop will look at how use of the newly updated CCCG can support service development and provide evidence for improved resourcing, in a way that meets current NHS agendas.

 

We will endeavour to allocate delegates to their choice of workshops but, as the numbers in each room are limited, it will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis.
