A Lifetime Achievement Award is made to honour an individual who has not only made an outstanding contribution to the ICS as a society but also a lifetime commitment and lasting input to the advancement of science, education, clinical practice or public awareness in the field of continence (including function and dysfunction of the urinary tract, bowel and pelvic floor). The Award is given at the ICS Annual Meeting with the acclamation of their peers.
