DRY KIDZ

With over 30 years of experience in Continence and Urology nursing in both the public and private sector, Terri’s special interest in children’s continence led her to establish Dry Kidz 27 years ago which specialises in bedwetting, urinary incontinence, constipation, soiling and toilet training problems.

Terri takes a family-centred, evidence-based approach, tailoring strategies to each child and their parents as well as collaborating with other health professionals as needed. Passionate about the impact continence can have on a child’s well-being, she finds great fulfillment in her work. Committed to excellence, Terri actively pursues ongoing education through conferences and seminars.

UROLOGY NURSE

Terri also has a special interest in supporting men recovering erectile function after radical prostatectomy, a passion that developed during her time caring for post-operative patients in a private hospital. Collaborating closely with physiotherapists and the patients urologist, she guides men through their recovery journey, providing education on treatment options and, if needed, instruction in injection therapy to enhance erectile function.

Outside of work Terri likes to spend time in the garden, walking with her dogs, reading and travelling when the opportunity arises.
