A service redesign in 2019 led to the formation of an integrated team of nurses and physiotherapists working together to form a bladder, bowel and pelvic health team across two hospitals and the community in Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. The last few years have had their challenges, but the team is now very successful and has won awards for the integration and achievements, particularly in the redesign of the containment product service. Integrating two professional groups has led to excellent team-work and smoother patient journeys.
