Prostate Cancer UK have an urgent toilet card too - you can order it for free from the shop/publications part of the website. Or you could message me and I could pop one in the post for you if that’s easier?

If you think you may need quick access to a toilet then a radar key may be useful. You can buy these from many sites on the internet,ost require you to tick a box saying you're entitled to it (which you are).

Hi Tony, just to say I've put a couple of 'Urgent' cards in the post for you this morning - hope they help, but also as Dave says, a Radar key would be useful.

Take care, Janet

Hi Tony

Following on from Janet’s reply, I got myself a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard from their online shop to carry my Prostate Cancer UK card. I’ve found that useful.
