Abstract

Abstract : Following on from the publication of the multiple sclerosis 'Bladder consensus guidelines' in 2022, an expert group of healthcare professionals have since developed 'Consensus multiple sclerosis bladder management pathways', a priority of the guidelines. This article describes the methodology and process for this work and highlights that a team approach to management is required. They encourage all nurses to be 'bladder aware' in multiple sclerosis.
