Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust – Faecal Incontinence and Constipation Healthcare

Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust have developed a nurse-led Faecal Incontinence and Constipation Healthcare (FINCH) service, where an integrated care pathway has been designed to increase accessibility, streamlining of the patient pathway and provide a dedicated service for the management of fecal incontinence and constipation. Prior to the service being developed, patients were seeing 3 or more healthcare professionals before seeing the right person, so patient and staff time was not being used as effectively as possible. The introduction of the integrated care pathway for fecal incontinence ensures that patients are seen in a timely fashion, by the correct clinician, in the right setting closer to their home address. As a result of the service patient outcomes and experiences have significantly improved, hospital admissions have reduced and savings have been made from decreased laxative and pad usage.
