Help shape the future of continence care

News - 9 October 2025

The Urology Trade Association (UTA), The Urology Foundation (TUF) and the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) have launched a joint survey on patient dignity, experiences, and outcomes.

The Urology Trade Association (UTA), The Urology Foundation (TUF) and the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA)  would like to understand more about people's experiences with urinary continence care, including how it affects your day-to-day life, dignity and how well the care and products work for you. The survey should be answered by adults who experience continence issues and/or their carer/family member.

The answers will be analysed by UTA, SIA and TUF to understand patterns and trends around urinary continence care, particularly patients' dignity, their experiences, and outcomes. The answers will be kept completely anonymous. The survey can be accessed here.

It will be open until 31st October.

Thank you for supporting this important initiative. Your help in encouraging patient voices to be heard is vital in driving real improvements in continence care.
