The Big Reveal: The Truth Is Out There……
Continence Insiders Tell All About
Bladders and Bowels (no aliens, just facts)

Patients living with incontinence are often hidden in shame, silent embarrassment, often confused and unsure about what to do.

They may get the wrong information from social media clickbait or simply hear advice from well‑meaning friends and family.

Let’s uncover the mechanisms of continence, dive into a day of deep learning and understand the roles of the multidisciplinary team members in our clinics so that you can start to manage continence with confidence and know when to refer, because together we achieve the best patient outcomes.

Program includes…

  • Bladder physiology & neurology
  • Continence assessment
  • Anatomy & pelvic floor physio
  • Continence aids & support strategies
  • Incontinence Associated Dermatitis vs Pressure Injury
  • Diet & Fibre
  • Bowel management of spinal patients
  • Multiple Sclerosis & continence
  • Video urodynamics
  • Case studies
