Dealing with incontinence

I don't have any personal experience but I do know my pharmacy dispense those supplies to people on prescription from their GP.
Could you enquire at your own GO surgery?

GP surgery

In Scotland but yes provided here by NHS and it is District Nurses who assess and organise. Failing that ask GP for referral to bowel and bladder specialist nurses.

There might also be a washing of bed linen service. If not you can get kylie sheets different sizes and some tuck in from amazon.

It was about 12 years ago, my mother had incontinnce pants provided by the NHS. They were delivered every two weeks. This was in N. Ireland.

NHS provide pads in the West Midlands. The recipient has to be assessed, I think by a health visitor.
My immediate area is fortunate to have a very accessible and supportive Continence Clinic. I don't know how common these are. People can just ring up and ask for an appointment.

My GP refers patients to the local Continence (Incontinence?) Clinic and an appointment is available within one month.

Thanks everyone I will try asking the GP again. I tried ages ago and he said ask the nurses, who don't know! It is so frustrating going round in circles.

Yes we get them from the District nurse , who has to assess the client first , we got some from the hospital and then got them on Amazon while the DN got all the paper work done

I think I phoned my parents gp and asked the receptionist.
Within a day or two, a continence nurse came to assess, and a delivery was made a few days later, of pads.
Its probably the only part of caring for my mum that went smoothly.

My mum was in a home but they had an allowance for mum's pads.

Thanks everyone, I'll start again with the GP after the bank holiday. We had the incontinence nurse out last year when this fecal incontinence seemed to have become a permanent thing, and the disabilities nurse from the hospital. I had a large delivery of some pants shortly after. Those have run out now and I can't find out who actually organised it to get some more. I appreciate your help!

The commence nurse left me a big piece of paper with a number to phone, and stressed it would be up to me to order each time, so that maybe the same in your area. Good luck!

My cousin is waiting for an operation for bowel cancer and has urine and faecal incontinence. Her local clinic is not helpful and she buys her own pads. I live some distance away and as she is housebound I ordered a quantity from Amazon for delivery to her. She changes them frequently as she is anxious that she might "smell". Please can anyone advise the best buys and also with regards to price.
