Children’s Bladder and Bowel Service

South Tyneside and Sunderland's Children's Bladder and Bowel Team are here to support children aged 0-19 with any issues relating to their continence. If you concerned that your child has an issue please contact your GP or health professional (school nurse or health visitor) for advice. Health professionals will work with you (a Level 1 assessment requiring the parent/carer to complete a 3 day fluid and 2 week bowel chart) and after 12 week period if there no progress the health professional or parent can self-refer into the children's bladder and bowel service (Level 2).
