The Great Incontinence Roadshow.
The "Great Incontinence Roadshow" is an educational activity sponsored by the Department of Geriatric Medicine of the University of Birmingham. It is a multidisciplinary study day, intended mainly for nurses and doctors, during which the prevention and management of urinary and fecal incontinence in the elderly at home and in hospital are presented by specialist speakers and discussed in small groups. The speakers include geriatricians, a urologist, a specialist nurse, a researcher, a supplies officer and a manufacturer. The "Roadshow" has travelled to many hospitals and educational centers where it invariably attracts large audiences, arouses great interest and focuses attention on ways of improving the management of the elderly who are incontinent.
