Research Project: Urinary incontinence in RACF: Management and medications

Opportunity for research participation

Project title: Co-designing evidence-based resources to support decision-making regarding the safe and effective prescribing, monitoring and deprescribing of medications for the management of urinary incontinence for people living with dementia in RACFs.

 

Chief investigator: Dr Amanda Cross,  Monash University, Victoria

Are you a healthcare professional with experience in caring for people who experience urinary incontinence and who are living with dementia?

Do you prescribe, dispense or administer medications for urinary incontinence for people living with dementia?

Monash University would like your help to develop new resources to support and empower people with dementia, their carers and healthcare professionals to make well-informed choices about medications for managing urinary incontinence.

Your expertise will help inform an important body of work which may potentially improve clinical outcomes for this vulnerable patient group. 

We want to develop these resources together with the individuals who will use the resources to ensure they are fit for purpose.

We are currently recruiting healthcare professionals to participate in interviews or focus groups.
