Continence Service

Nurse Maude's Continence Advisory Service provides confidential support, assessment, treatment, education and continence products for anyone over four years of age. We can help if you: have difficulty getting to the toilet on time, make frequent visits to the toilet, day or night, have bladder leakage when coughing, sneezing or exercising, or if you have bowel leakage or other bowel problems.

Our service also includes advice and information about catheter management, liaison with other health professionals and agencies, and information and education for the community and health professionals.

Consultations are with a continence advisor, who is a registered nurse or physiotherapist with further training in the specialist area of continence management.

Our service can accessed directly by clients, or their families/whanau, their doctor, surgeon or hospital.

Clients living in the Canterbury area do not have to pay for consultations or treatment. Continence supplies are partially subsidised however there will be a charge if clients choose to have supplies sent to them by courier.
