We provide evidence based continence assessments to children from age 1 year to 16 years (up to their 19th birthday if they have special needs) with continence problems.

We see children who have problems with:

• Daytime wetting
• Night time wetting
• Children not toilet trained for their bowels due to behavioural issues
• Children not toilet trained due to a physical or learning disability
• Children who aren’t able to become toilet trained and who need continence products
• Chronic constipation

We provide evidence based continence assessments to children from age 1 year to 16 years (up to their 19th birthday if they have special needs) with continence problems, identifying the most appropriate care pathway for the child, implementing and evaluating the care.

We are based at Charlestown health centre. We hold clinics at various health centres in the city and also see some children in school or at home depending on their needs.

Children can refer themselves, or be referred by their parent or a health care professional with the child or parents’ consent. The child should have a Manchester G.P. Referrals from health care professionals to be made via the CCS1 Children and Young People’s Service referral form, please email referrals to mft.jointchildrenscontinence@nhs.net.

Referrals are triaged each morning and afternoon.
