How can I help my pelvic floor?

Daily pelvic floor exercises
Try to drink 1.5-2litres of fluid per day avoiding irritants like caffeine, citrus, fizzy drinks, and alcohol
Aim to wee every 3-4hrs during the day and once overnight is normal
Sit, relax, and don’t rush on the toilet
Keep a good fibre intake – brown carbs (bread, rice, pasta) and fruit with skin on (pears, prunes, apples, nectarines, grapes and berries)
Don’t strain to have a poo

Unexpected closure of lifts in Beeden House, Bedford Hospital

We have had to make the difficult decision to close both lifts in Beeden House at Bedford Hospital after finding an unexpected fault during routine maintenance.

This means that there will be disruption to services and appointments on the upper floors of Beeden House.

We are currently contacting patients to find the best individual solution for them, minimise disruption and ensure they continue to receive the care they need. At this point you do not need to contact us, we will contact all affected patients.

The decision to close the lifts was hard, but we felt it was the safest decision to best protect our patients and staff.
