Part of the charity Disabled Living UK, BBUK provide information and advice for adults, children and young people with bladder and bowel problems. Our helpline is accessible to patients, health care professionals and anyone who requires further information or support.
Bladder and bowel problems are very common but are often not discussed. This makes it difficult to seek help. Many people believe that problems are a natural part of early childhood and older adulthood. However, it is important to know that they can affect anyone at any stage in life, they may be related to other medical problems, to disabilities, or may occur in people who are otherwise well. Regardless of the cause, there is a wide choice of treatments, products and management options that can help.
Our aim is to raise awareness of continence from a national perspective, whilst supporting patients and professionals to improve the quality of life for sufferers of bladder and bowel problems. We can help with information about services, practical solutions and product advice in a friendly a personal manner.
The Bladder & Bowel UK (BBUK) team aims to improve awareness and solutions to bladder and bowel problems across the nation. We offer a range of resources and leaflets, continence supplies online, a directory of bladder and bowel products, free confidential advice via our Bladder & Bowel UK helpline, and training days for healthcare professionals.
This support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:30pm.
This support is free, there is no cost.
