The impact paediatric bowel care pathway.
Care pathways to manage continence problems in adults are well established (Bayliss et al, 2003). However, little work had been carried out to develop care pathways in paediatrics. There are increasing numbers of nurse-led clinics for children with continence problems, and nurses need structured systems to guide practice. June Rogers explains how the IMPACT paediatric bowel care pathway was developed.
