In this episode of the podcast, in partnership with Wellspect, host Lisa Beauchemin talks to her colleagues Katherine Fernandez and Dr Lawrence (Larry) Vogel about bladder and bowel management in paediatric spinal cord dysfunction.

They discuss physical health alongside social health and lifestyle factors that need to be considered, especially when working with children and teenagers. Being a teenager is challenging enough without the disruption of incontinence. Ultimately, the team aims to help their patients achieve a high quality of life and strive for independence as early as possible.

Dr Vogel also highlights the importance of anticipatory guidance, letting patients and their families know what will happen as their child ages and develops.

We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast.
