title: Clean intermittent self-catheterisation and children.
abstract: The best chance for good renal health and continence for children with a neuropathic bladder is clean intermittent self-catheterisation. In order to maximize potential for good renal health and continence the child and family need to be well supported by the multidisciplinary team, making good use of the knowledge of the children's urology specialist nurse who is able to provide relevant information, advice and education. With support many children with a neuropathic bladder are able to achieve continence while maintaining good renal health.
