This can include:

- light exercises i.e. pelvic floor exercises
- prescribe and review all medications
- support bladder or bowel training programmes
- provide continence products or appliances when clinically indicated
- catheter care clinics
- when appropriate, home visits
- continence aids to improve access to toilet facilities
- catheter care
- telephone support for patients and healthcare professionals
- training health and social care professionals in basic continence care.
You will get ongoing support whether you are a patient, carer or healthcare professional.
What we treat
Approximately one in four people will experience bladder or bowel symptoms. It can affect men and women of all ages. Despite being a common problem it’s still something that we may feel embarrassed about.
Seeking help can really improve your quality of life with the right assessment treatments and management programme. With the right treatments and products everyone can be helped to effectively manage, improve and in many cases even cure their condition.

Joint home visits are offered with Community Nurses to support housebound patients with symptoms of bladder or bowel and catheter related problems.
