We have to get past this stigma over talking about wee, poo, and other toileting activities. It's something that we have to do every day, and if you're not, you should really be speaking to someone about that. Because continence is something that we all should be proactive about no matter our age or gender. Sheena Lagat is a wee wee nurse. Specifically, a continence and urogynaecology clinical nurse consultant. Join us as we speak about Sheena's journey to urology and continence nursing, why we should care more about our plumbing, and the personal, economic, and environmental impact of incontinence.
