Nocturia and Overactive Bladder Symposium 2019

Waking up overnight to pass urine? Bothersome urinary urgency? Come and learn how you can help your patients in this practical symposium exploring assessment and latest evidence-based management.

Nocturia and overactive bladder symptoms are both common and burdensome conditions. Nocturia is commonly dismissed, but it has significant health and financial impact.  Nocturia is now understood as being more complex than a lower urinary tract dysfunction.  The multi-factorial nature of Nocturia involves renal, cardiac, respiratory and sleep disorder causes.   

The Royal Melbourne Hospital Continence Service warmly invites you to the Nocturia and Overactive Bladder Symposium. This symposium will present the multi-factorial causes, practical approaches and evidence-based treatments to assist you in managing your day-to-day patients.
