ERIC eNews

Another summer is upon us an exciting time as children, young people and families everywhere look forward to summer camps and holidays. As we know all too well at ERIC for some children this is not an exciting time and they worry about sleepovers and how they will manage and if their friends will find out that they wet the bed. This is a busy time of year for ERIC as we look to support families and health professionals with ways of how to manage bedwetting. This is also why we run ‘Banish the Wee Horror’ in June – it’s very timely and a chance for ERIC to get into the media and encourage people to talk openly about their continence problems.

 ERIC  had a fantastic opportunity to talk publicly about constipation when we featured on Woman’s Hour, to coincide with the NICE Guidelines on Soiling and Constipation – we received a record number of hits to our website on the day of the interview. This once again shows how important it is ensure information and support is at hand and how keen parents are to talk about the issues and seek help.

 We hope by talking about the problems that we encourage even more people this year to step forward for help.

 Kind regards
