Clinic Information
If you are a woman experiencing urinary incontinence that is affecting your quality of life you can ask your family physician or primary care nurse practitioner to refer you to one of the four urogynecology physicians at LHSC. Once the referral is made you will be triaged by the urogynecology physician to be seen in their clinic, or you will be referred to the Nursing led RN Continence Clinic.
