About us

We are a team of bladder and bowel specialist nurses with expertise in the care and treatment of bladder, bowel and pelvic health conditions, including pelvic floor dysfunction, continence and incontinence support. We are supported by our administrative and home delivery team.

What we do

Bladder and bowel problems are common, but they are poorly understood. Our specialist team are passionate about the need for clinical assessment and personalised care planning, with dignity in care being at the heart of this confidential service. We provide information, support and professional advice to patients, healthcare practitioners and carers. We believe everyone has the right to be continent and have access to the highest standards of care; where symptoms cannot be treated, they can often still be improved.

Who is the service for

Our service is open to adults registered with a GP in Derby City and Derbyshire County with clinics at various locations across the county. The service offers a home visiting service for those who are housebound or residing in residential care.
