Intermittent Catheterisation for Children - Teaching Materials

Welcome to the page of teaching resources, focusing on children and intermittent catheterisation

Here is a collection of images to tailor instructions on how to perform intermittent catheterisation to the needs of each individual child. The goal is to help children learn to catheterise themselves – independently.

Just pick the picture of the person you think the child can best relate to, then create an instructional presentation using the images needed to illustrate what your patient needs to practice.

We hope the images will be of great support when it comes to teaching children to self-catheterise using a LoFric catheter.

Start by downloading the template for printing in PowerPoint, then add the images that you think will help your patient.

On this page you will also be able to download; 'The Parental Guide to Intermittent Catheterisation', some further guidance on 'Teaching Your Child to Pee' and a successful catheterisation 'Diploma' template.

The Parental Guide

This guide is for parents, carers or those who are otherwise responsible for a child who needs help emptying the bladder. It is intended as a supplement to the information you received from healthcare professionals. In this parental guide you will receive knowledge and insight into how the urinary tract works, what can cause problems with the bladder and how Intermittent Catheterisation (IC) can help your child.

How to teach a child to pee

Teaching a child how to use a urinary catheter to pee should always consider their different needs. This presentation has been developed by a specialist HCP as a training resource to support anyone teaching a child IC. It’s a valuable source of information for parents or carers having a child who need IC, as well as helpful guidance for anyone new to the therapy.
