Please note: participants must be UK residents.

“I have completed the Fittleworth ISC training course three months ago. The course is excellent for nurses who are new to ISC or nurses like myself who benefit in a refresher course. I found the content very comprehensive, precise and easy to follow, with an excellent tutor. I would recommend the course to all nurses working with patient who need to undertake ISC, either to teach the patient or to monitor their care.”

“The ISC Course provided by Fittleworth I attended last year was a very positive experience and informative course. As a Continence Nurse I found the information supplied was invaluable to my practice and the patients I see. The course information was clear and concise, presented by Marie Riding, course tutor, who was knowledgeable and experienced in working with patients. The subject, ISC, was presented in a methodical and thorough way, trouble shooting and discussion of cases were also part of the course. The literature provided added to the presentation and gave a resource to use to use in the future. I felt this course has validated and added to my knowledge and improved the service I can provide for my patients.”
