title: Pathways for continence care: the validation process.
abstract: This article is the third in a series of three describing a collaborative project between continence advisers in Loddon NHS Trust, Basingstoke, East Wiltshire Healthcare Trust, Swindon, and Salisbury Healthcare Trust to develop and implement care pathways to improve continence care provided to patients. The first article described the issues facing the continence advisers and the background to the decision to develop evidence-based care pathways (Vol 9(9): 590-6). The second covered the literature search and described how each pathway evolved (Vol (17): 1165-72). This article outlines the mechanisms by which the care pathways were subjected to a process of content validation.
