The 2nd Continence UK Conference and Exhibition will take place at the Harrogate International Centre from the 10th to the 12th November 2008. As in 2007, it will run alongside our other Healthcomm UK events, Wounds UK and Dermatology UK..
The continence programme is being designed to build on the varied and diverse nature of the Continence UK Journal. Through a mixture of plenary sessions and Masterclasses, this dynamic event will provide you with an excellent opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skills whilst networking with colleagues from around the UK in a busy and vibrant learning environment. Content for the event programme will be scrutinised by our advisory board who are all practitioners in the continence and urology fields, ensuring a relevant mix of subjects that will be of interest to all members of a multi-disciplinary team.
We are also very pleased to announce a partnership with the RCN Paediatric Urology Continence Special Interest Group (PUCSIG). On the 11th November PUCSIG will be running a one-day concurrent paediatric conference and delegates to Continence UK can freely access these sessions as part of their delegate fee.
Why will Continence UK be different from other events?
Continence UK runs alongside our long-established Wounds UK conference and Dermatology UK event.
Delegates to Continence UK can freely access these other events during their visit, providing a unique learning platform. This provides a great opportunity to enhance your core continence and urology skills, with the added benefit of updating your knowledge in interrelated subject areas. You can therefore supplement your visit with any number of dermatology or wound care sessions and access their related exhibitions as part of your delegate fee.
Additionally, the event provides a programme that has real relevance to current practice, not just for nurses but for others involved in the chain of care including service managers, physiotherapists, link nurses, occupational therapists and educationalists.
Finally, all delegates are invited to attend the black-tie gala dinner on the night of the 11th November. There is no additional charge for the dinner and drinks reception, it has been built into the delegate fee. This is a networking event and we would like all delegates to attend the dinner and mix with friends and colleagues from the other conferences. The dinner will be held at the Harrogate International Centre on the night of the 11th November and we will be expecting around 1,500 delegates across the three events.
