Description

Alina talks to Fiona Boorman a Paediatric Bladder & Bowel Specialist Nurse with 40 years' experience and a passion for helping children with additional needs to toilet train. 


Fiona started working with disabled children at 12, when she was a volunteer in a children’s home and later in a Scope Grammar School. This led her to a career in nursing children, initially at Great Ormond Street, London.


10 years as a Special School Nurse got her hooked on continence. She realised that too many children were not given the opportunity to achieve this fundamental skill but with the desire, joined-up working and some crazy ideas, she could make it work for most. Fiona went on to undertake both Adult and Paediatric Continence modules.
