Based in Bristol, England, the International Continence Society is a registered charity operating within the hospital and health care sector. It pursues a global health mission focused on urinary, bowel, and pelvic floor disorders, aiming to improve people’s quality of life by advancing both basic and clinical science through education, research, and advocacy. The organization serves a professional audience of clinicians, researchers, and related institutions, supporting international cooperation and the dissemination of expertise through conferences and scholarly activity. It fosters international cooperation by affiliating with national and international societies and coordinating collaborative projects. Its work includes global education for professionals through workshops and conferences, plus research support via meetings, publications, and scholarships. It runs outreach programs to expand access to continence care in developing regions and develops standards and guidelines for clinical practice through dedicated committees and educational events.
