Webinar objectives

- Increasing knowledge of what best current practice is as well as pointing to emerging treatments
Webinar overview
Gut symptoms affect the majority of people with a range of neurological conditions, including spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, neuromuscular disorders, spina bifida and stroke. Gut symptoms can present in form of constipation, faecal incontinence or a mix of both symptoms. Other pelvic floor and upper GI symptoms can also be present. Symptoms have a major impact to limit personal and social life reducing quality of life. In addition, they have a limiting impact on overall body function like nutrition. There are multiple mechanisms that can influence symptoms expression. Treatments are available and we will aim to provide a framework for participants to develop a viable local pathway to manage such gut dysfunction.
