Continence clinic - does anyone have advice or experience?

I'm currently having some investigations which were triggered by issues I'm experiencing with bladder and bowel control Blush

I don't know (and I assume won't know for a while) what is causing it, but the hospital have put a referral through to the clinic so that I can speak with them about managing the issues.

I don't really have any idea what to expect, so I was wondering if anyone knows:

What kind of things they are likely to ask?
Will they do any physical examination?
Is there anything I should probably prepare in advance, like some kind of diary?
What might they suggest?

This has come on for only a few weeks and I've been experiencing urgency with both the bladder and bowel - like, needing to go to the toilet very suddenly and not being able to hold on.

I don't have any infections, signs of diabetes, it's not caused by recent childbirth or pregnancy and I'm not experiencing any bloating or stomach pain. I've just lost the ability to hang on when I need to go to the toilet - and I need to go a lot!!
