Case Managers & Arranging Incontinence Products When Leaving Hospitals in the UK
Male urinary incontinence is a deeply personal health issue that can be amplified during or after a hospital stay. In the UK, the discharge process for such patients includes a robust support system coordinated by the National Health Service (NHS), aiming to ensure continuity of care. Unlike in the USA, where access to incontinence products can hinge on insurance coverage, the UK model is need-based and centrally managed. Still, awareness of how to navigate the system is essential for caregivers of male patients, particularly older adults, to secure necessary continence support after discharge.
