CARERS DIRECTORY
If continence is a problem, it is worth consulting your doctor or other
health professional as it can sometimes be treated or practical help given. A
referral to the local Continence Advisor may be helpful.
Bed linen or a supply of incontinence pads can be supplied weekly for
people who are incontinent and living at home. For details, contact your GP (see
Doctors) or your District Nurse (see Nursing).
