Abstract: | The need for a more coherent and integrated national service for children with constipation and soiling has been recognised for some years. It became clear to the team at the voluntary organisation Enuresis Resource & Information Centre (ERIC) as a result of the experiences of the many parents and professionals who contacted them. They responded by setting up a multidisciplinary working group to begin the process of reviewing the research. The group then went on to oversee the publication of the first national minimum standard guidelines for service delivery in this area of child health. |
