Bowel Assessment and Management

Bowel health is a key component of overall wellbeing in aged care. Constipation can lead to discomfort, behavioural changes, and more serious complications if not identified early.

This training supports:

• Early recognition of changes in bowel function

• Improved comfort and dignity for residents

• Prevention of complications through proactive care

• Consistent and informed care planning

Understanding bowel care helps ensure residents receive safe, respectful, and effective support.
