Lower Bowel Dysfunction
Faecal incontinence Constipation Conservative therapy
This course is aimed at nurses and physiotherapists who wish to develop basic skills in the assessment, management and treatment of lower bowel dysfunction including constipation, difficult defaecation and anal incontinence

This educational course will be delivered by clinicians working in the speciality of lower bowel dysfunction. The course content
covers the pathophysiology and anatomy related to the lower bowel but also covers in more depth a range of conservative
therapies that can be used to improve the quality of life of people who have lower bowel dysfunction; in particular anal
incontinence and difficult defecation or constipation. The course is intended to give clinicians, both new to the speciality or
with some experience, ideas about extending their clinical practice. It is also an opportunity to raise the awareness of bowel
dysfunction in a society that predominantly focuses on bladder dysfunction.
The course will be delivered in a lecture
