Who are we?

UrPedia is supported by an educational grant from Ferring and created by the hard work and dedication of our network - four expert societies in their fields of medicine.

ICCS

The fundamental goal of the International Children’s Continence Society, ICCS, is to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of children and young people with bladder dysfunction. They aim to achieve this by disseminating and promoting information, research, and best practice to the multiple health care disciplines and specialties across the globe who care for these children, as well as the families and children themselves.
