Please do join us to ensure your voices are heard 👂 We understand these can be difficult symptoms to talk about & will ensure discretion & support. We really need to hear about experiences with services to understand what works well & areas we need to improve. Thank you.
Are you living with #bladder or #bowel leakage? Do you live in Bristol, North Somerset or South Glos? We're looking for people to share experiences with those running local bladder and bowel services to help make them better. Email [email protected] to find out more
