Continence assessment
A professional continence assessment identifies the causes of bladder or bowel challenges and develops a clear, personalised plan to manage them. Our experienced continence nurses take a gentle approach, giving you practical guidance and reassurance at every step.
Why a continence assessment matters
Understanding what’s really happening makes everything easier to manage. Our continence assessments provide insight, structure and support to help you regain comfort and control in everyday life.
Personalised approach
Every continence assessment is individualised to your specific needs, ensuring that recommendations and care plans fit your body, lifestyle and goals.
Respectful, compassionate care
We know this can be a sensitive topic. Our continence nurses create a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk openly and feel supported from the start.
Clear, actionable guidance
You’ll leave your appointment with a straightforward continence care plan; practical steps, product advice and routines designed to make daily life easier.
Collaboration and connection
We work closely with carers, families and healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of continence management, communication and care across all settings.
Support for every age and ability
We work with children, adults and older people experiencing bladder, bowel or toileting challenges. Whether you’re a parent seeking help with toilet training, an adult managing incontinence or a carer supporting someone with complex needs, our continence nurses offer experience, empathy and practical solutions for all situations.
What to expect from your assessment
Initial consultation
We begin with a friendly chat, either in person or over the phone or video, to learn about your situation, health background and goals. This helps us understand what’s working, what’s not and how we can best support you.
Full assessment
Your continence nurse will complete a thorough and respectful evaluation, including bladder and bowel patterns, toileting habits and contributing medical factors, to identify the root causes of your challenges.
Personalised continence care plan
Following the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed continence care plan with recommendations, product advice and practical strategies to suit your lifestyle.
Ongoing support and follow-up
We’ll stay in touch to review progress, update your plan and ensure you have access to the right products, resources and referrals when needed.
