Catheterisation (urinary) involves inserting a flexible tube into the bladder to allow urine to drain. Catheters can be intermittent or remain in place for a period of time.
Cases involving catheter use can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to clinical assessment, insertion, maintenance, infection, trauma, documentation and subsequent outcomes. NICE recognises infection and urethral trauma among the issues associated with catheter use.
Our catheterisation expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, nursing documentation and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
