Description of talks:

Look for DIAPPERS: Urinary & Faecal incontinence (Talk 1)

In this talk will give a clinical approach to managing two common but often underreported conditions: urinary and faecal incontinence. We’ll begin by discussing how to differentiate between the various types of urinary incontinence through targeted clinical assessment and basic investigations. Emphasis will be placed on developing a systematic approach to diagnosis, with a focus on key clinical signs, patient history, and appropriate diagnostic tools. For faecal incontinence, we will review the most common aetiologies and provide practical, management strategies.

Ageing of the largest organ: Skin dermatology (Talk 2)

This talk will focus on how to identify and manage common skin conditions in older persons.

The real care: Wound and pressure care (Talk 3)

This talk will give an approach to a very common clinical problem with devastating impact on patient’s quality of life. The emphasis will be on prevention and management.
