Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

This one-day national symposium splits into concurrent adult and paediatric streams, so delegates can move between bladder, bowel and continence topics relevant to their practice. The programme includes ketamine uropathy, clozapine-related gastrointestinal hypomotility, pelvic health after pregnancy, chronic constipation, young-onset urology, neurogenic incontinence and support for autistic children with toileting difficulties. Seven hours count towards CPD or NMC revalidation, with an attendance certificate, lunch and free parking included.

The poster call accepts original research, audit, quality improvement and service-development projects completed or published since March 2025. Abstracts are limited to 500 words and should cover background, aims, method, outcomes, further work, conclusion and previous presentation history. Accepted work is displayed as an A0 portrait poster with a 750-word maximum. The organiser says Midlands submissions close soon but does not publish an exact date.

A delegate ticket is currently displayed at £49.46. The meeting runs from 09:00 to 16:00 at Coventry Building Society Arena and includes an exhibition alongside the educational programme.
