Male & Female Catheterisation Training

Catheterisation is a core clinical skill that must be performed with care, competence, and respect for the patient. At Trained2Care, our Male & Female Catheterisation Training course equips healthcare professionals with both the theoretical understanding and practical skills to carry out urinary catheterisation safely and effectively across a range of care environments.

This course is ideal for professionals working in hospitals, community settings, care homes, or domiciliary care—particularly those supporting individuals with urinary retention, post-operative needs, or long-term catheter use.

Course Overview

This CPD-aligned course is designed to support clinical staff in understanding, performing, and managing urinary catheterisation for both male and female patients. It begins with essential theory, including anatomy, patient consent, legal considerations, and infection control. Delegates then move into a hands-on, simulation-based session using anatomical models, allowing them to practise catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal in a safe, controlled environment.

Please note: First-time learners will require a period of supervised practice in their workplace before carrying out catheterisation independently, in line with organisational policies.
