Bowel management can be a significant challenge for thousands of people who have a spinal cord injury or spina bifida.
Maureen Coggrave is a Research Nurse from the National Spinal Injuries Centre in Stoke Mandeville and is passionate about improving the quality of life, not only for her own patients, but for anyone who could benefit from reviewing their current methods of bowel management. Maureen has researched this subject extensively for her PhD and is known throughout the UK as a pioneer in her field of expertise.
The SIA and ASBAH, in conjuction with Coloplast Limited have arranged a study presentation meeting where Maureen will present and discuss her exciting research studies for anyone who needs to use bowel management methods or indeed anyone who assists in carrying out these procedures. In addition we are excited that we will also have a presentation by Michael Cogswell who is aiming for the sailing Paralympic Gold for Great Britiain. Michael will discuss the various bowel management options he has used and how they have impacted on his career as a professional sportsman.
It will be an informal and relaxed meeting and is an excellent opportunity for individuals, partners or carers to improve their knowledge in this important area - hear about the latest research and a revolutionary new innovative bowel management system, available on prescription.
