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.

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.
