World Continence Week

Every year, World Continence Week raises awareness of bladder and bowel conditions globally. At TENA, we support World Continence Week and welcome the opportunity to get people talking. After all, good continence care benefits everyone.

For 2026, we are proud to support by providing free education for healthcare professionals and professional caregivers. With ketamine bladder expected to rise significantly, now is the time to build awareness and prepare. This webinar will help you understand emerging trends, and take practical steps to manage increasing demand and complexity.

“ 1 in 4 ketamine users experience urinary symptoms ”

As published by the BJUI in 2011*

And how does it impact on the people you're caring for?

But what does this really mean in practice?

Many clinicians are now seeing younger patients presenting with complex urinary symptoms linked to ketamine use. This session gives you the unique opportunity to understand the lived experience behind the statistics, with real-life insights from former ketamine users. Gain a deeper appreciation of how symptoms present, how they affect quality of life, and the challenges young people face when seeking support. 

Secure your place now - this webinar will not be available to watch on demand after World Continence Week.
