Carers Forum

A FREE "Carers Get Together"

Our Continence and Tissue Viability Carers Forums were so popular last year that we have decided to offer another opportunity to attend.

Lets talk…Continence and Incontinence

Continence care relates to helping an individual achieve and maintain control of their bladder or bowel functions, through tips on how to keep the bladder healthy, continence assessment, identifying a suitable course of treatment if necessary and emotional support and advice.

Lets talk…Tissue Viability and how to prevent pressure ulcers

Pressure ulcers are an injury that breaks down the skin and underlying tissue. They are caused when an area of skin is placed under pressure. They are sometimes known as 'bedsores' or 'pressure sores.

We'd love it if you could join us to:

• listen to our guest speakers/health professionals
• meet up with other carers dealing with similar issues and problems
• have a chat with one of our Adult Carer Support Workers
• enjoy some of the yummy lunch and refreshments provided!
