Living positively with bladder illness!

We are responding as an organisation to the Women’s Health Strategy – Call for Evidence form the Dept of Heralth and Social Care. We would be very grateful for any comments you have which we could include anonymously in the report. We also plan to use the anonymised data to support BHUK’s objectives and to review the services we offer.

Our Nurse Advice Line is open for calls. 0121 702 0820. The line is open between 9.30am and 2.30pm . If you leave a message on the answering machine if the line is closed we will call you back asap.

Last year BHUK supported a research student at UCL (University College London) Sleep Education and Research Laboratory. We supported a study the student was recruiting for related to individuals with chronic pain conditions, also known as the SCRIP study.

Although bladder and bowel problems can often be cured, millions of people worldwide must manage incontinence and toileting problems using a combination of products.

BHUK highlighted Fowlers Syndrome in support of 'Fowlers February'. It is a particularly nasty bladder illness that affects women of all ages. One thing we did which has proved very popular is to offer a card you can take to the Doctors/ Hospital with you to explain the condition. Read on to find out how to get a card.

We are still working hard to make sure the charity remains open and here for you. Thank you so much to all of you who continue to generously support us in many different ways - we are so grateful to you and you enable us to provide the services we know are much needed and appreciated.
