Students leading improvement• “Language such as ‘she’s been

padded’ and ‘we’ve given her pads’ are regularly heard in situations such as handover rather than saying we will do 2 hourly toileting”

• Design and implement a leaflet titled ‘Be in the know, don’t wrap and go.’– A 14% increase in patients not using any

continence aids by night and a 43% increase by day;

– A 29% decrease in the use of ‘nappy pads’ by night and a 61% decrease by day
