Let's break the silence, incontinence should not be a taboo.

In honour of we asked care homes across the country to nominate a carer that has shown incredible dedication, strength and compassion for those in need. We had many nominations, but one stood out to us...

We’re pleased to announce that Linda Palmer from The Grange Care Home in Warkworth has won our Care Home Champion award! 🏆

Linda has gone above and beyond caring for her residents by creating a lovely sensory room for residents with dementia. This peaceful space allows residents to enjoy the fresh air and quiet, a welcome change from the often busy lounge area. Linda is kind, caring, and cheerful, the residents always look forward to spending time with her and miss her when she’s on holiday.

Congratulations Linda, and thank you for your incredible dedication!

Happy Earth Day 2024! 🍃 🌍 Over the years we’ve noticed a lack of attention in the healthcare industry towards sustainability. We felt we could do something about that – with even the smallest changes growing into great things. Here's just some of the initiatives we've started over the past year.

We're incredibly happy to announce that Optimum Medical & Vyne are supporting the British Red Cross as our charity partner of the year.

Much of what we do is around supporting people who have come home from the hospital with life-altering medical devices and products. For many, this is a vulnerable time and can be quite daunting.

Through their work in the UK, the British Red Cross offer their help at home services which can impact so many of these same people. After a stay in hospital, they can get you home and help you settle back in. Their home care service can be tailored to fit people's needs.

We will be participating in many fundraising events throughout the year. And our first event is just around the corner... Our amazing team will be completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks next week!

Urinary tract infections, UTIs for short, can happen to anyone and can affect any part of the urinary tract; from the urethra, to the bladder, all the way to the kidneys. It’s actually among the most common infections in humans!

We're very pleased to announce that we have been inspected and rated good by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)!

Urology Awareness Month has been running annually with the aim of increasing awareness of urological conditions, so that people can spot the symptoms early and seek treatment.

This year we ask you to join us in shedding light on important urology topics each week during September.

It's World Continence Week this week - we are focusing on the need to overcome the unnecessary stigmas that surround incontinence, a condition that affects an estimated 300 million people worldwide.

• Started using a completely battery operated plant at our warehouse

• Purchased a baler that will help compress recyclable materials such as plastic, paper and cardboard into small, manageable sizes, now collected in a single trip!

• Installed a brand-new heating system that uses air source heat pumps (ASHP) to keep our office at the right temperature!

• Purchased our first Electric vehicle for local deliveries in and around West Yorkshire!

• We have also started reporting on our carbon emissions and have plans in place to reduce these year on year.

Happy International Nurses Day. Thank you to all the nurses out there who continue to make a huge difference to people's lives every single day!

May you have a happy and healthy new year! With best wishes from all of us at Vyne!

Last year we began a litter picking tradition. We took to the beach for a clean-up with the Marine Conservation Society, which was a great success. This year we're keeping things closer to home - and helping out our local community. On Wednesday we’ll be grabbing our litter pickers once again and embarking on the first Optimum Medical and Vyne Local Litter Pick, concentrating on the community around our Head Office in Leeds.

We're deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. She touched the lives of so many in her 70 years of service, and our thoughts are with The Royal Family and all those mourning her passing.

In keeping with , we're looking at the most common causes of bladder issues and when you should seek help. Urology Awareness Month is so important – we want to encourage people to feel comfortable seeking help when they need it.

September is Urology Awareness Month | Vyne Support & Advice | Vyne Thursday 1st September marks the beginning of Urology Awareness Month – the annual campaign to raise awareness around urological issues and diseases.
