An online guided self-determination program to empower people with long-term conditions to better manage their conditions and lives: An online model will be presented. Attendees will learn how this method can empower consumers to effectively manage their continence needs and describe how this can be translated to continence care practices via a set of reflective conversations between the healthcare professional and the person living with incontinence

Unlocking the potential for participation: working with people with lived experience of stroke and incontinence. Will explore the potential in the “caring conversations” that health-care professionals have with their clients to support the person living with incontinence to flexibly manage their continence care needs. Thus, the consumer is enabled to participate in life roles that have meaning for them.
