When NOT to Book a Home Visit — Call 112

Routine catheter care is for a stable, ongoing situation. Certain signs mean the patient needs urgent attention, not a scheduled change.

• Severe chest pain, pressure or tightness
• Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, or slurred speech
• Fainting or loss of consciousness
• Severe or rapidly worsening breathlessness
• Heavy bleeding that will not stop
• Major trauma — a serious fall, road accident or head injury
• Fever, chills or confusion alongside catheter use
• No urine output despite the catheter appearing to be in place, or sudden severe pain

If any of the above applies, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Home visits are not a substitute for emergency services.

Preparing for the Visit

• Have any previous catheter supplies or prescriptions ready
• Note the date of the last change, if this isn't the first time
• Mention any discomfort, unusual urine colour or smell noticed recently
• Keep the patient in a comfortable position for the procedure
• Have a clean towel and basic supplies ready as advised

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Who performs catheter insertion and changes?

An MBBS or MD doctor carries out catheter insertion and changes in person — we do not send a nurse for this procedure.

How often does a urinary catheter need to be changed?

This depends on the type of catheter used — the visiting doctor will advise a schedule, which is typically every few weeks for long-term catheters.

What hygiene steps should the family follow between visits?

We talk you through basic daily care — keeping the area clean, checking the tubing isn't kinked, and keeping the collection bag below the bladder level — during the visit.

What are signs of a catheter-related infection?

Cloudy or foul-smelling urine, fever, pain around the catheter site, or blood in the urine are reasons to call us promptly rather than wait for the next scheduled change.

Can catheter care be combined with other home care visits?

Yes, many patients needing catheter care also use our bedridden patient care or elderly care doctor visits for broader support — ask about combining visits.

Is catheter care suitable for a first-time insertion, or only changes?

Both are offered. For a first insertion, the visiting doctor assesses the situation and explains the procedure and ongoing care to the family.

What does catheter care at home cost?

The charge is confirmed on the phone before the visit, whether it's an insertion, a routine change, or a care review.

Can the family be shown how to empty the collection bag safely?

Yes, the visiting doctor talks the caregiver through emptying and cleaning the collection bag, so routine care can continue correctly between visits.

Is catheter care available for both male and female patients?

Yes, catheter care at home is provided for patients of any gender, with the technique adjusted to the type of catheter in use.

What if the catheter stops draining properly between scheduled visits?

Call us right away rather than waiting — a blocked or non-draining catheter needs prompt attention, and we'll advise whether a visit is needed immediately or the next day.
