"So many people don’t know about this service or are reluctant to use it. It has changed my life. Thank you!"
The Continence Service are a team of nurses and advisors who can offer support, assessments, treatment and advice to individuals over 18 years of age who have bladder and or bowel problems. This is dependent on the GP surgery you are registered with.

You can self refer yourself to the team for help and support. Please download the continence referral form and return to us as soon as possible. You can also:
- call us on 02382 311690 and selection option 2.

- contact us with product queries: continenceservice@southernhealth.nhs.uk
We see individuals via video appointment, telephone appointment, in clinics or at home.(Please be aware we do not cover Portsmouth or Southampton City).
Referral Criteria
The service will accept any patient who is 18 years and over with bladder and bowel problems as well as pupils who attend Treloars (and registered to Farnham Dene Medical Practice).
