@caudaequinacesa Bladder and bowel dysfunction can have a huge impact on #QualityOfLife for people with #CaudaEquinaSyndrome and #SpinalCordInjury more generally. #GuttmannConference @caudaequinacesa @Coloplast_UK

Despite most being admitted to specialist neuro wards, 2/3 of patients with #CaudaEquinaSyndrome surveyed were not informed about the impact of CES on their bowel function. Need more patient information across all settings!. @caudaequinacesa #GuttmannConference #SpinalCordInjury
