This month, we’re celebrating one of our Senior Customer Service Site Leads, Pauline Fallows as our 'forever caring hero'. Pauline always goes the extra mile to support our Amcare customers, with her drive to deliver world-class customer service. Not only does she put the customer at the heart of everything she does, but she also goes out of her way to help her fellow colleagues. As an ostomate herself, Pauline has been able to share her own experiences about returning to work following her stoma surgery many years ago and has spoken about this on our Stoma Talks podcast which you can listen to here https://brnw.ch/21wL7oM Pauline, we think you're amazing, thank you for being our 'forever caring hero’. #ForeverCaring #ForeverConvatec #WeAreConvatec

As #PrideMonth comes to an end we wanted to reflect on this year’s celebrations to recognise our LGBTQIA+ communities around the world. Our Pride Network is our longest-running employee network at Convatec and we took the opportunity to recognise those members and allies through our Pride awards, who have made a big contribution to our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Wellbeing journey. As we build an inclusive business, colleagues have also been hearing from inspiring speakers on topics ranging from neurodiversity to inclusivity for transgender people. Diversity not only enriches our company, but also drives innovation, creativity, and success to improve care for the people we serve. #WeAreConvatec #ForeverCaring #ForeverConvatec

We recognise there are many aspects to wellbeing, from meaningful work to focusing on our mental and physical health. This year, we're celebrating the third anniversary of Our Work Life - which gives colleagues greater choice over where and how they work. Our approach is about much more than flexible and hybrid working; from our Employee Assistance Programme which helps colleagues navigate circumstances that may impact their wellbeing, to Convatec Cares, our approach to Environmental, Social and Governance. We are committed to ensuring Convatec is a place where all our colleagues can thrive. And we’re looking forward to our fifth Convatec Day on 11 October, giving colleagues an extra day off to focus on their #wellbeing. #WorldWellbeingWeek #WeAreConvatec #ForeverCaring #ForeverConvatec

Did you know that 1 in 5 people in the UK experience bladder problems? We know that it is a health issue that people may not talk about but this #WorldContinenceWeek we've partnered with The Urology Foundation to encourage anyone who experiences bladder problems to speak to their healthcare professional and remind them that they are not alone. #ForeverCaring #WCW2024 #ContinenceMatters

This week (17 - 21 June) is World Continence Week, an annual initiative created with the World Federation for Incontinence and Pelvic Problems (WFIPP) who are committed to raising awareness of bladder & bowel issues, chronic pelvic pain and other conditions which impact greatly on the lives of patients, families and carers. In line with our forever caring promise, Convatec is committed to providing the highest level of care and support along with trusted product solutions to help improve the lives of those living with continence issues; just like Kiera. Kiera, a 29-year-old Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner and intermittent catheter user from Scotland, shares her story of when she first started using intermittent catheters. It started around ten years ago after she was told she had a damaged bladder wall, a condition that explained her frequent need to urinate. After trying several solutions, from oral medications to botox injections, Kiera finally found GentleCath Air™ for Women. She had tried other coated hydrophilic catheters but at times they were sticky and uncomfortable. GentleCath Air™ for Women are hydrophilic catheters with FeelClean Technology™, which integrates hydrophilic, lubricating properties within the catheter material to remove the risk of sticking that occurs with the chemicals used to coat other catheters. After using GentleCath Air™ for Women Kiera says, “It [catheterising] has never been uncomfortable, which is unbelievable because before, I thought it was a normal part of using catheters. There was no irritation.” “Normal”, she says, can be a loaded word for people who use catheters – she doesn’t like the idea that there is anything ‘abnormal’ about her. She continues, “For me, it’s just about finding the new normal that works for me. And I’m happy with my new normal.” #ForeverCaring #ForeverConvatec #WCW2024 #ContinenceMatters
