Leading digital health partner for bladder and bowel care, Vyne, is set to extend its longstanding support for Bladder & Bowel UK with a series of joint initiatives to help raise awareness and enhance UK-wide ostomy and continence care for patients.
Kickstarting with Vyne’s sponsorship of Bladder & Bowel UK’s upcoming National Symposium in the Midlands, the renewed partnership builds on several years of fundraising support for the charity. This includes a recent £1,750 donation through the team’s participation in Endure24, a 24-hour relay running race.
As the charity marks 30 years, Bladder & Bowel UK’s flagship National Symposium Midlands aims to bring together healthcare professionals from across adult and paediatric specialisms for a day of CPD-accredited learning and networking.
Held at Coventry Building Society Arena on 23rd September, the event will include a programme of inspirational lectures, multi-disciplinary discussions, and case studies to influence best practices, along with an extensive exhibition featuring company representatives and charitable services.
Built on decades of ostomy and continence experience, Vyne is designed to empower clinicians and patients to manage bladder and bowel care over time via an online platform and mobile app.
Daryl Jackson, Head of Marketing & Partnerships at Bladder & Bowel UK, said: “Partnerships like this play an important role in helping us extend the reach and impact of our work to improve bladder and bowel care for everyone. We’re delighted to be working with Vyne to build on our relationship and create opportunities to share knowledge, connect professionals and raise awareness of the support available to people living with bladder and bowel conditions. Our National Symposium is a great example of what we can achieve by working together, bringing healthcare professionals, organisations and industry partners into the same space to learn from one another and explore how we can continue to improve care.”
Leeds-based Vyne also works closely with several local charitable organisations, including its partner of the year, Bradford Hospitals Charity. The team undertakes initiatives throughout the year to raise vital funds for the charity’s patient care and NHS staff services, with engagement encouraged through Vyne’s annual volunteering day scheme.
Sarah Hillery, Chief Clinical Officer at Vyne, commented: “We’ve always believed that supporting continence care means more than just supplying products; it means investing in the people delivering care and the wider community around it. Sponsoring Bladder and Bowel UK’s Symposium is a natural extension of our commitment to the education and peer support that is fundamental to patient aftercare. This partnership is one part of our wider charitable programme, which sees us support healthcare and community organisations throughout the year, all working together to deliver effective care.”
