Thursday 5th November : The Pelvic Floor Society Annual Conference
Friday 6th November: The Pelvic Floor Society Annual Conference
We encourage you to join one of our masterclasses available to purchase for Wednesday 4th November:
Pre-Conference Study Day: An inclusive pre-conference study day designed for AHP, Colorectal Specialist Nurse, Surgical Nurse practitioner, Midwives, New Consultants, trainees and other clinicians across the pelvic health spectrum. This expert-led session offers evidenced based insights into pelvic floor assessment and management for both non-experts and experienced practitioners and considers the multidisciplinary platform for a collaborative approach ahead of the main symposium.
Endoanal Ultrasound and Anorectal Physiology Course [EAUS&ARP Course]: One day course focusing on how to perform these investigations and also interpret the imaging and trace findings. Application of these tests in patients with pathology such as obstetric anal sphincter injury and perianal fistula.
Research Sandpit [FREE TO APPLY - DETAILS BELOW]]: An event designed to spark high‑quality, collaborative research in faecal incontinence and pelvic floor disorders. In this one day meeting the TPFS will bring together clinicians, scientists, allied health professionals, and patient partners to co‑create fundable, impactful research proposals addressing key priorities from the recently published James Lind Alliance Faecal Incontinence Priority Setting Partnership.
These run alongside each other so please note you can only attend one.
