Dear Colleague, The Association for Continence Advice (ACA) would like to invite you to attend our 41st Annual Conference which, due to COVID-19, will now be held on Mon 24thth May - Tue 25th May 2021 in Bristol. The programme will include: Dame Yvonne Moores ‘Continence policy’; Peter Smart ‘Expert patient’; Christene James Continence Nurse Specialist ‘case study on working with the LD team’; Tracey Bartholomew- lead nurse for learning disabilities ‘ bowel problems in people with learning disabilities’; Carol Joinson ‘bladder training app for young people’; Juliette Rayner ‘incontinence in children and young people – the impact on adult services’; Daren Francis ‘advances in the uses of robotics with the pelvic floor’; Tina McGahey ‘Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapist physical/medical aspects of sexuality and continence’; Carole Roberts ‘The impact of continence issues on the individual, relationships and intimacy’. The full programme will be available shortly A full programme will be available on request shortly. This year we are having a tabletop exhibition so all spaces and tables will be the normal standard size (3mtr by 1m and 6ft trestle table). There are opportunities for companies who wish to become Platinum or Gold Sponsors, and for companies who would like to run their own symposium session. Please note that the ACA, jointly with Bladder & Bowel UK, are once again offering the highly prestigious 'Look Good Feel Good' award. The aim of the award is to highlight products, which are pleasing in appearance and satisfactory in performance, and to encourage manufacturers to give attention to the appeal factor at the design stage of new products. Only products launched since the 2019 ACA Conference are eligible for entry. More information will be sent to exhibitors nearer the time.

Full details are enclosed in this prospectus and we’re delighted that, with the invaluable support of our exhibitors, we will be continuing to provide education in the field of Continence. I do hope you can join us in Bristol. Yours sincerely,

Polly Weston Polly Weston ACA Chair

IMPORTANT INFORMATION –Delegate Lists Following advice from the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) with regards to the level of delegate contact information we can give to you, we are making a minor adjustment to the delegate registration Terms and Conditions to ensure we can provide you with delegate lists both during and after the event. The following wording will now therefore be included in the terms and conditions when our delegates register: “Your data will be shared with the exhibiting companies at ACA Annual Conference 2021. Only name, job title, organisation, location and email address will be given. If the exhibitors would like to use any of this personal data for direct marketing purposes, they will contact you separately to obtain your unambiguous and positive consent”
