For this year’s Annual Scientific Meeting we are seeking abstracts ranging from Case Histories through to reports on INNOVATION leading to clinical trails. Additionally, research or case studies related to Training and Entry into this Field of Medicine are welcome. A list of topics planned for this Conference is given below as a guide.

Colleagues are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers and posters which demonstrate the quality of work being carried out in the promotion of Continence. Free papers and posters present an excellent opportunity to stimulate debate, raise issues or highlight quality work being carried out by teams or individuals.
