Every year, between 15 and 20 million women develop a reproductive morbidity. These morbidities affect not only the health and wellbeing of the women themselves, but also have a negative impact on their children and families. As a result, women often find it hard to live with dignity, to care for their children, to be productive, to earn income, and to manage their other daily responsibilities--which are substantial for most women.
Some of the disabilities are acute and life-changing for a woman immediately during or directly after childbirth but can be rectified relatively quickly. Other disabilities develop more slowly and become chronic conditions that a woman endures day in and day out. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) are such examples. They are part of a whole host of conditions that affect women throughout their life. The collective name for all these conditions is Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS), or Urogynaecology.
The purpose of this course is to:
- Provide an overview of FPMRS conditions.
- Provide an understanding of how to investigate FPMRS conditions.
- Provide a guide to managing FPMRS conditions.
- Provide an understanding of how FPMRS conditions can be prevented.
- Provide an understanding of the impact of FPMRS conditions in society and how they affects productivity, impact on economies and affect society. This is particularly important in societies where obstetric fistula and cultural practices like female genital mutilation are prevalent.
This course will help both clinicians and affiliated specialists understand what FPMRS is, how it affects women and how it can be managed. It will show the benefit in embracing a multi-disciplinary approach to providing care for women affected by FPMRS conditions. The courses will focus on incorporating evidence-based care, clinical skills development and education strategies for women affected by FPMRS that will help clinicians and affiliated specialists provide the best care for women at various stages of their care pathway.
The main aim is to effectively enhance and advance the knowledge of clinicians and affiliated specialists this complex clinical field.
