The GP can refer you to the PCT (Health Authority Primary Care Trust) Incontinence Service. But have you considered an external catheters

My appointment has come through via my GP, and in turn via Urology at my local hospital, so I will wait & see what they say. But after being forced to have an external catheter fitted some months ago I really really really do wish to avoid going down that route.

Have a look here for my advice.

I looked at this post ages ago... went into B&M today and they happened to be selling them. I have to be honest I've no idea how much they should be but they seemed pretty cheap for some good sized packs.

An update since my last post in case in may help others.

I was referred, by my GP, to the Specialist Bladder & Bowel Team at a local hospital. They agreed I needed to get supplies so arranged a delivery (big box) of Tena Pads for Men & I can reorder the same quantity by phone,or online,as whatever rate I need replacements. They are then delivered within three days. So all good ...... well apart from needing the bl**dy things in the first place one les expense :T
