Convatec Continence Care UK

Life with an intermittent catheter can affect more than just your physical health. The emotional impact is often less visible, but just as real.

That's why we've developed the Emotional Wellbeing Programme, to explore the emotional challenges of using intermittent catheters and offer practical tools to help users feel supported, understood and empowered.

One of those tools is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). During the programme, CBT expert Keira McGarrity, guides you through how our experiences influence thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering strategies to build confidence, manage unhelpful thinking, and feel more in control.

On World Mental Health day, we're raising awareness of the emotional and mental wellbeing challenges that often go unseen, especially for those living with continence needs and using intermittent catheters.

Adjusting to life with intermittent catheterisation can be overwhelming, from managing routines in public spaces to rebuilding confidence and independence. The emotional journey is often just as challenging as the physical one.

At Convatec, we understand that continence care is about more than products, it's about people. That's why we created our me+ support programme. We offer personalised guidance, emotional support and practical tools to help users feel seen, understood and
empowered.

Because mental wellbeing matters, just as much as physical health.

On World Urology Day, we are raising awareness of the everyday struggles faced by people living with urological conditions.

Urological conditions are more common than many realise; an estimated 1 in 2 will experience a urological issue in their lifetime.1 These can range from urinary incontinence and bladder dysfunction to kidney stones and prostate problems.

At Convatec, we're dedicated to improving the lives of those managing urological conditions. Through our me+ support programme, we offer personalised resources, expert advice, and everyday tools designed to empower individuals and help them live more confidently.

This World Continence Week, we’re proud to collaborate with The Urology Foundation to raise awareness and spark important conversations around Continence Care.

At Convatec, Forever Caring means more than delivering products — it means standing beside people with empathy, innovation, and purpose.

Together, we can change the narrative — from stigma to strength.

This World Continence Week, we are proud to stand with those impacted by continence issues by raising awareness, promoting education, and encouraging open conversations.

Bladder and bowel issues affect millions of people worldwide, yet far too many continue to suffer in silence.

At Convatec, Forever Caring is more than a promise, it's the heart of everything we do. From product innovation to emotional support, we're committed to making a meaningful difference.

Together, we can break the stigma, improve understanding, and empower more people to seek the help and care they deserve.

Let's work towards a world where everyone feels supported, respected, and heard. Because every story matters, and every person deserves compassionate continence care.

Sustainability starts with the everyday choices we make.

By recycling the GentleCath™ Air for Women case, users can make a
substantial contribution in reducing plastic waste. Based on an
average use of five catheters per day, recycling this case could help
save the equivalent of 1,104 plastic bottles each year.

It’s a small action but when adopted, it has the power to make a large
environmental impact.
