Let's Talk Continence - How We're Improving Local Care
On 31 July, we published our Continence Care report, which showcases the research and work we have undertaken to improve local care for the Stockport community.
Between November 2023 and December 2024, Healthwatch Stockport explored local adults’ experiences of continence services following repeated concerns from service users and carers.
While clinical care pathways are clear, access to continence products like pads and pull-ups remains inconsistent, with unclear local criteria. Feedback highlighted poor communication, delays, and lack of support—though some examples of good practice were found.
This report outlines key findings and recommendations to improve services and ensure fair, consistent access across Stockport.
