Dear
Colleague,
Neurological
disorders can have a profound impact on pelvic organ functions,
resulting in significant impairment of quality of life. Established in
1989 the Department of Uro- Neurology, at The National Hospital for
Neurology and Neurosurgery at Queen Square, London has been a dedicated
unit , involved in the care of patients with neurogenic bladder, bowel
and sexual dysfunction and much involved in research and clinical care
of affected patients.
We
are organising a one-and-a-half day symposium on June 30th and July 1st
2010 on “Pelvic Organ Dysfunction in Neurological Disease”. This has
taken shape in parallel with the preparation of a multi-author textbook
on the same topic and the speakers have all had an association with
Uro-neurology and written chapters for the book.
Nineteen
speakers form a highly experienced international faculty (listed on the
next pages) who will provide a practical, yet comprehensive, overview
of the clinical challenges in this area. We will start by refreshing the
basics and then move onto investigations and management, and finally
address problems unique to specific neurological conditions.
One
highlight will be the presence of Professor William Chet de Groat,
founding father of the neuroscience of pelvic organ functions.
We
have applied for CPD approval to the Royal College of Physicians.
Please
book your place to join us at Queen Square in the summer
PS.
We are grateful to Genesis Medical for agreeing to assist with the
organisation.
