We are a team of registered practitioners and health care workers who are trained specialists in continence promotion and incontinence management.
What we offer
We offer specialist support for adults across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Southport and Formby. Our services promote continence, dignity and independence through expert assessment, treatment, education and product support.
What is incontinence?
Incontinence can be defined as an uncontrollable leak from either the bladder or the bowel. Whenever it occurs, it is a distressing and embarrassing condition, which undermines quality of life, impinging on the independence and dignity of the individual. Some people may not experience leaks but will suffer from bladder or bowel symptoms which are distressing. The community continence nurse specialists offer treatments with advice and support for those with bladder or bowel problems.
Assessment
You will be assessed in one of our clinics, or in your own home (or nursing or residential care setting). If you are registered housebound, arrangements can be made for assessment. After assessment, we will develop and agree on a treatment plan with you.
Our patients matter
Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust listens and responds to patients and their carers to help improve the services we deliver.
If you have any comments, compliments or concerns you can speak with a member of staff or contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) and Complaints Team.
