Skin Integrity on the Agenda of the 7th Global Forum on Incontinence in Rome
publication date: 17/04/2018
The aim of the 7th Global Forum on Incontinence is to explore how the different and often competing perspectives of patients, carers, policymakers and payers can be reconciled, to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of continence care provision. Prof. Dimitri Beeckman presented and reflected at the meeting in Rome about skin health as a valuable outcome measure in relation to incontinence.
In the context of today’s ageing societies and long term health and social care needs, the meeting will focus on how to improve the provision and quality of services for people affected by incontinence so that they can live dignified, independent and active lives, while also creating a win-win for patients, carers and health systems in improving value for money health outcomes. Prof. Dimitri Beeckman presented and reflected about skin health as a valuable outcome measure in relation to incontinence. The 7th GFI is organized by Essity in partnership with AGE Platform Europe, Eurocarers and IAPO, with endorsement of a number of international, regional and national organizations with an interest in the topic of incontinence and continence care.
