Annual Evidence Update on Urinary Incontinence: 19-23 January 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from the NLH Kidney Diseases and Women’s Health Specialist Libraries.

The Kidney Diseases and Women’s Health Specialist Libraries are launching the first Urinary Incontinence Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on Monday 19th January. Focusing on both male and female urinary incontinence this AEU brings together the latest evidence on the surgical, drug and conservative management of urge and stress incontinence and Overactive Bladder (OAB). Expert commentaries summarising the latest knowledge on various incontinence topics such as botox, post-prostatectomy and quality of life issues will be available.

We know that it is very difficult for busy health professionals to keep up-to-date with the huge volume of literature that is published each year and so the specialist libraries do this for you so that you don't have to!
