It's time to talk continence
We worked with a group of organisations and volunteers to find out about people’s experiences of continence services in North Yorkshire. This project included mapping existing services, hearing from people with and without continence issues and from healthcare professionals.
Our aim was to better understand the issues people are facing and to start to break the stigma of talking about wee and poo and start some continence conversations.

Why people in our rural areas are struggling to access the care they need
We are working with the Institute for Social Justice at 0York St John University to try to find out if rurality has an impact on people’s access to health services. We want to know if rurality means people have a poorer experience of some NHS services.
We have been listening to people who live in a small town, village or rural area of North Yorkshire so if and how living in a rural place affects access.
