6th Global Forum on Incontinence: Berlin 2016
We at Incontinence UK were impressed when we saw the following event taking place next month all about incontinence; 6th Global Forum on Incontinence in Berlin 19th – 20th April. Industry experts throughout the world will meet and focus on improving the provisions and quality of services for people in need of continence care enabling independent and dignified living.
Let’s hope it brings some help and support for the millions of people in the UK suffering in silence with incontinence problems.
What is the scope and the aim of the conference?
In the context of today’s ageing societies and long term care, the 6th Global Forum on Incontinence will focus on improving the provisions and quality of services for people in need of continence care enabling independent and dignified living. In particular, policy makers, experts, patients, carers, payers and other key stakeholders will come together to discuss shared objectives and next steps towards a new paradigm in continence care.
The conference will focus in particular on transforming the delivery of continence care services including key quality principles, measuring outcomes as a key driver of improving the care for people with incontinence, and new funding opportunities and solutions. The conference will aim to foster consensus on the way forward towards better continence care that can be implemented in different local health and social care environments.
In addition to key note presentations, panel debates, Q&A sessions and break-out sessions, the program will allow for productive and interactive debate throughout the conference, giving all participants the possibility to contribute to finding solutions.
The conference is held every 2 years (previously held in London, Madrid, Copenhagen, Prague and Nice) and attendance is by invitation only. For further information regarding the conference and to monitor decisions and outcomes from the conference do visit the Global Forum on Incontinence website.
