Constipation Awareness

Changes in bowel habits can affect comfort, appetite and wellbeing, yet people may find them difficult to discuss. Build awareness of constipation and the value of understanding individual patterns, observing changes and communicating concerns in a respectful, timely way.

Explore how everyday routines and support arrangements can influence the information staff notice and record.
