Paediatric Continence service

The service assists parents / carers with the management of day or night wetting and bowel soiling habits.  It is available to every child 4 to 17 years in the boroughs of City of London and Hackney. It includes the Paediatric Continence Service and the Toileting Advisory Service. 

The Community Paediatric Continence Clinic accepts referrals for assessment and management of children with night-time wetting with or without daytime symptoms. Children with constipation or faecal soiling without urinary symptoms are not seen in this clinic. The service can offer pre and post void ultrasounds for assessment and treatment options including alarms and medication. Complex and resistant cases are referred to the Evelina Children’s Hospital for third tier input. 

The Toileting Advisory Service assists parents / carers with

• Advice on bladder / bowel training
• Strategies for potty / toilet training
• Dietary guidance
• Containment products for bladder and bowel incontinence

Anyone may make a referral for children over 4 years with bowel or urinary continence problems.

Once the child or young person is accepted unto the service, they will be offered an appointment to be seen by either the paediatrician or specialist nurse in one of our Enuresis or Continence clinics depending on the problem.
