title: The permanent indwelling catheter: a domiciliary survey.
abstract: A survey of non-hospitalised patients with indwelling catheters was undertaken by the District Nursing Sisters in the Portsmouth and South East Hampshire District. The distribution, pathology and workload arising from these patients is analysed, and the findings suggest that periodic review of management of particular patients would help to improve their quality of life.
