On the 25th and 26th of February The Healthy Ageing Research group at the School of Nursing and Midwifery hosted a very successful visit of Professor Brenda Roe.

Professor Roe is a Fellow of the Queen’s Nursing Institute and Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health in the UK. She is editor of the Journal of Advanced Nursing and was one of the founding editors of the Cochrane Incontinence Review Group (1996-2000) with particular responsibility for reviews on behavioural interventions for the management of urinary incontinence. She was awarded a Harvard Education Center Fellowship, Department of Health Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, World Health Organisation Fellow and received the RCN/Molnlycke award for excellence in continence care.

During her visit Professor Roe, along with staff at the school facilitated a focus group discussion to identify priorities for research, education and practice. This discussion was attended by continence advisors, public health nurses, nurse educators, nurse managers and nurses with special interest in bladder and bowel care from public and private sectors.  

On Thursday evening, over 60 delegates from across the south and south east region attended a master class provided by Professor Roe titled: Advancing Practice in Continence Care.  The visit was supported by the UCC Strategic Fund awarded to Dr Alice Coffey and Dr Mary Rose Day to support the promotion of translational research and collaboration in the area of bladder and bowel health.
