On behalf of the Scientific Faculty I am delighted to invite you to attend this educational, interactive scientific session entitled CARE THROUGH SIMPLICITY: Improving the lives of patients with nocturia, held as part of the 2015 Annual Meeting of the International Continence Society in Montreal, Canada.
\nNocturia is a complex multi-etiological disease, and it is essential that physicians offer accurate symptom assessment to provide effective diagnosis and prescribe treatments that meet the patient’s specific needs.(1) The resulting sleep fragmentation can have profound and wide-ranging negative implications for a patient’s quality of life, self-esteem and daily functioning.(2)
\nThe expert scientific panel will provide their insights on their methods for arriving at a correct diagnosis facilitated by interactive patient cases, with focus on the importance of asking the right questions, comorbidities and patient-tailored therapy.
\nI look forward to welcoming you to this meeting and participating in an engaging, interactive programme, where you will hear not only about some of the latest scientific developments in this field but will also take away valuable insights to your clinical practice.
\nProfessor Philip van Kerrebroeck, MD, PhD
