The latest ICS Education Committee learner assessment is now available. This covers "The Need for Raising Health and Incontinence Literacy."

We will offer tools to help you better recognise such patients and give examples of adjusted patient information materials to ensure better communication and optimal information transferral. We welcome discussion of experiences of delegates internationally
