1. ICS World Continence Week
Proposed suggestions on how to setup a WCW event
First of all think globally, act locally!
The main aim is to improve the quality of life for people affected by urinary, bowel and pelvic floor disorders.
By taking action in our hands we can raise awareness and help to prevent due topics.
Setup a Conference
It’s a good opportunity to present the expectations and demands for changes in continence related issues.
Think of a boardroom or a local conference centre (capacity of around 100 people)- maybe you can get it for free? Speak to your local hospital to see if they have a space available. It’s for a worthy cause and they may be able to help.
Invite various experts in the field of incontinence to conduct the conference. For example You can talk about:
the socio- economic costs of incontinence in Your country
place for a patient suffering from incontinence;
Incontinence treatment from the specialists perspective– gynecology and urology;
long-term care costs
Don’t forget about the logistics - catering, seating and AV equipment will be needed.
Setup open medical consultations with specialists (gynecology and urology)
Patients can arrange to meet with a gynecologist or urologist to get advice about their disease
These would be open medical consultations lasting minutes per person.
The consultations can be also combined with open medical lectures so that people can get additional information on their condition 

2. ICS World Continence Week
Gymnastic exercises (pelvic floor trainings)
Such activities are always welcome among the public and often very crowded.
Rent a gym for a half or full day
Ask a specialist to teach appropriate exercises
The exercises can be also combined with open medical lectures so that people can get some information on the way.
Nationwide Info-line with two urologists’ shifts
Host a national information line with 2 specialist providing one to one advise
This can be promoted by advertising in the press and on local patient websites
Advertisement ideas;
Radio:
buy time on the radiobroadcast,
all-day spots announcing broadcast
inform about who, where, when and why is doing such activities
debate with two invited guests
following the broadcast 1 hour telephone shift
Internet: use popular medical and patients web sites to inform about the WCW
breakfast TV
