Undertaking a trial without catheter in a community setting Guideline and protocol (G93)
A trial without catheter (TWOC) is an essential part of the community nurse role. This routine procedure supports patients to remain within their own homes to receive health care. The Royal Marsden Manual Online of Clinical Nursing Procedures (2018) offers nursing guidance for urinary catheter removal but does not provide guidance for staff on how to undertake a TWOC safely at home or in a community hospital. This Guideline and protocol aims to provide evidence based recommendations to enable a trial without catheter to be undertaken in a community hospital or patients own home by a qualified competent practitioner.
