The ICS Board of Trustees is very pleased to announce an ICS collaboration with ICUD to host the 7th International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI) at ICS 2020. The ICI has established itself as one of the foremost and widely quoted set of international guidelines on the management of urinary and faecal incontinence. Many of the contributors are active ICS members and the published work of the consultation directly fits with the mission and strategic aims of the ICS. So it is most appropriate, and with great pride, that the ICS be directly involved once again following the successful partnership to deliver ICI 6. The role of the ICS will be to host the consultation event, publish the final publication and disseminate the recommendations and guidelines.
At our annual meeting, ICI presentations will be held over the first two days, with our usual high quality ICS workshops running in parallel. All efforts will be made to limit topic clashes so that delegates can attend workshops and ICI sessions that are most relevant to them. We are pleased to confirm that ICI sessions are open for all meeting delegates at no extra cost. All ICI sessions are 30 minutes and includes time for questions.
The ICI schedule during ICS 2020 can be viewed here in the programme. The titles of each chapter which will be presented are also listed below. We hope that many of you who plan to attend ICS 2020 will also find time to attend the ICI presentations at the concurrent meeting to hear the updated findings of this widely respected and quoted organisation's guidelines.
