Let's Talk about Toilets!

Professor Monica Lakhanpaul is a Consultant Paediatrician and Professor of Integrated Community Child Health at University College London and is passionate about toilets! 

Talking about the loo is not a common conversation in the UK. We often refer to poor hygiene in toilets and lack of clean water in 3rd world countries. Clinicians often are taught to treat constipation and UTIs with prescribed medicine but there is actually so much more behind the emotional and mental health of a child that affects their bowel movements. Asking the question where the toilet is situated, does it have light, who else has access to the toilet, how clean is it, can you afford to keep it clean and how does it make you feel when you use it can open up a whole conversation that you never expected to have!
