We take referrals from a variety of health professionals such as:
- GP
- Health visitor
- School nurse
- Consultant/paediatrician
- Community nurse
- Hospital
The referral should be done via the online referral form which the health professional can access or via Community Health & Social Care Hub phone number which is 0300 304 5555 (choose option 1)
When our admin team receive the referral, the continence nurses look at these within 2 weeks of the referral being received to see what the reason is for the child/young person being referred. The family are then contacted by letter and offered a clinic appointment. This may be a telephone appointment or face to face. If the nurses need more information before the first appointment, they may ask for a 3-day bladder/bowel diary to be sent out with your appointment letter. This will allow them to get a picture of the toilet/continence routine of your child.
We run Kirklees wide clinics on a weekly basis & all face to face clinic areas are wheelchair accessible. There will be access to a disabled toilet at the health centres but there is no access to a changing places toilet. We do not provide transport.
