Share your experiences of bladder or bowl leakage

The Bladder and Bowel Confidence Health Integration Team (BABCON HIT) are looking at improving the bladder and bowel continence treatment pathway for patients across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

It's not always easy to talk about - but the NHS estimates over 14 million (1 in 5) people in the UK experience bladder leakage and over 6.5 million (1 in 10) have difficulty with bowel control.

BABCON HIT would like to hear from women aged 18 - 45, and men of all ages, about their experiences.

To find out more or get involved, please email fay.winfield@uwe.ac.uk. You can speak to a researcher when it's convenient for you and you'll be reimbursed for your time.
