Dd still occasionally has accidents at night. When I say occasionally we're talking approx every couple of weeks.
She often gets up in the night for a wee but obviously doesn't need always wake up or get out of bed in times.

Do we just need to be stricter with drinks at bedtime? Or should we mention to GP?

Just a little bump as happened last night too. Seems to usually be in the first part of the night-before midnight.

Is there anything that had changed in her home/school life that may have subconsciously caused her stress or anxiety? Or has she mentioned any nightmares maybe?

You could go to GP but could you maybe talk to her and get a feel for if she has any idea why it's happening? Does she say she just didn't wake up or couldn't get there in time or maybe was too scared to go? I wouldn't say it's anything to do with drinks before bed because I'd assume it would happen more often if that were the case.

She is an anxious little thing in general really so it wouldn't take much to unsettle her.
She has a lot of trouble going to sleep-often awake til 9.30 ish.
I'll have a chat with her in the morning but I think it's a case of not getting up in time as she comes to me or sorts herself out (changes pjs etc) as soon as it happens-she's not sleeping through it.

You could try Retained reflex therapy. There is a spesific excersise to do that can stimulate the Spinal Galant reflex for the bedwetting to I have included a weblink for you to read.
