Bins For Boys
Woodside Medical Practice are proud to share we are a 'Bins for Boys' venue and support the Lingen Davies 'Bins for Boys' campaign.
Incontinence can be a side effect of cancer and treatment. Lack of sanitary bins in male toilets affects men who need to wear pads, pouches, stomas, catheters, colostomy or ileostomy bags.
Woodside Medical Practice provides a sanitary bin in all of our cubicles at the practice.
Any venue can become a 'Bins for Boys' location. Please follow the link below for more information about how become a 'Bins for Boys' venue www.lingendavies.co.uk/our-work/what-we-deliver/binsforboys

With You - Shropshire Recovery Partnership
A study previously published in 2016 by Drink Wise, Age Well and backed by With You Shropshire, detailed that age-related reasons for turning to alcohol are often the most potent and difficult to combat alone, including dealing with retirement (40%), bereavement (26%), loss of sense of purpose in life (20%), fewer opportunities to socialise (18%) and a change in financial circumstances (18%).
Between 2016 and 2023, GPs in the region have referred 277 clients to the With You service, which is helping to relieve the burden on the NHS by diverting care into the service, which provides a host of holistic therapies that are tailored to the needs of each service user.
