Supporting continence care at 35AEC, in collaboration with the Urge to Act initiative

06/10/2025

Alzheimer Europe is involved in an initiative called the “Urge to Act” and has previously endorsed its Call for Action and supported communications around the initiative. In the context of this collaboration, we took the opportunity, during our Annual Conference in Bologna, to ensure that continence care was supported. Women’s toilets contain sanitary disposal bins as standard, but we ensured that each of the men’s toilet blocks also contained a stall with a sanitary disposal bin, so that any men with or without dementia had access to these bins, to help them manage any continence issues they may have.
