At Allanda, we're always pleased to see or hear media coverage about incontinence as it's only by talking about the subject that people will become aware of how common the condition is, and learn how many people are affected by continence issues in their everyday lives. More importantly, such articles and coverage help people understand their condition better and learn what steps they can take to manage incontinence and get on with their everyday lives with renewed confidence.

Coverage of continence issues is far more common in Australia and recently Radio 612 ABC Queensland ran an in-depth feature on the condition which affects about 37% of Australian women and 13% of men. The programme featured Dr Philip Hall, a Gynaecologist, and pelvic floor surgeon at St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital Pelvic Medicine Centre and Karen Matthews, a Continence Nurse Advisor with Blue Care Australia.
