Continence products change from Tena to Ontex

January 5, 2018

Following a recent successful trial at Rowley Regis Hospital on continence products (Ontex brand) an implementation plan has been devised for the Trust to switch from Tena to Ontex pads.  All wards will receive training on the new products which will commence on Wednesday 10 January 2018. More details of the times and dates for each visit will be sent out on Monday 8 January 2018.

Representatives from the supplier Ontex will be visiting each ward to undertake appropriate training but it would be useful if each area could nominate a ‘link nurse’ or ‘cascade trainer’ to assist in the training process and dissemination of the product information and for them to be available on the training day.

Please contact Lisa Southall, NHS Supply Chain & Procurement Supervisor, for more information and to nominate your trainer on ext. 4938 or email lisa.southall1@nhs.net.
