The ICS Continence Promotion Committee (CPC)
Diane Newman, Chair
of The Continence Promotion Committee
The Continence Promotion Committee (CPC) was
formed following a workshop at International Continence Society (ICS) meeting in Rome in
1995, where it was agreed that the ICS should act as a facilitator for various
international continence organisations to meet and address relevant issues to do with
continence promotion, awareness and prevention. The principle aims were:
- To look at opportunities for networking
across various countries;
- To increase awareness amongst ICS members of continence related issues;
- To facilitate development of continence organisations
- To facilitate interchange of information about continence awareness and
promotion;
- To identify opportunities for continence prevention strategies.
The CPC became an official committee of the
new Board of the ICS in 1998, and has the important role of providing input into the
important areas of continence awareness, promotion and prevention.
Annual workshops have been held each year at
the ICS meetings.
