We are the Bury Continence and Stoma Service and we aim to provide effective and high quality care to people who are registered with a Bury GP and are experiencing bladder and/or bowel dysfunction.
We offer a clinical assessment and our aim is to support you by developing an appropriate treatment plan and self-management options, to improve your symptoms and quality of life and to increase your independence.
We offer appointments at various clinics across Bury and, where appropriate, we can visit you at home.
We also provide commuity-based psychological support and specialised stoma care for patients in the pre and post-operative stages of stoma formation surgery. This support can be provided either in your home or in a clinic.
Clinics are held weekly at Prestwich Walk in Centre and Townside Primary Care Centre by appointment.
We work closely with hospital-based stoma care nurses to ensure you experience seamless and joined up care.
We work as part of a township team, but provide care right across Bury.
