Stage 1 distance learning workbook focuses on the prevalence and impact of urinary incontinence; anatomy and physiology; types of urinary incontinence; assessment and management; integrated continence services. It requires about 10 hours of study.

Participants can work through Stage 1 (distance learning workbook) and Stage 2 (workshop and follow-up activities), and use the study hours for the purposes of PREP(CPD).
