Continence Assessment & Advice
There are different types & causes of incontinence. An assessment completed by a continence nurse can help people to establish a plan to meet their individual needs.

Toilet Training Advice
It’s a real milestone in your child’s development when your child learns to use the toilet. Toilet training can be a challenging time for some parents and children. Developing this skill in a supportive and positive environment promotes positive self-esteem and is an important aspect of the development of your child’s self-help skills.
TAC Assessments & Reports
