Video SOP
ICS Education 3-Part Module The ICS Education Module represents the gold standard for ICS. The module includes a 3-part format: 1) Official ICS-consensus PowerPoint available for download 2) A studio-quality video (hosted on the ICS website) and 3) A peer-reviewed published article published in the ICS Journal, Continence. The outcome of these modules is that educators around the world, and ICS faculty, can download the ICS module and present this to their students/colleagues. Additionally, if people are unable to attend a course on the topic the video can serve as an excellent educational tool. The ICS Education Module has template guidelines to use when preparing PowerPoint slides. 1) Board of Trustees 2) Relevant Committees 3) Education & Standardisation Committee 4) Independent Reviewers

Webinar Webinar is short for web-based seminar. A webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web (website/internet) using video conferencing software. A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements: the ability to give, receive and discuss information in real-time. This could be live with an invited audience via Zoom/Teams/Webex or recorded and circulated to the wider audience. A webinar is highly interactive ideally with the one speaker. Could even be live surgery or experiment. 1. Relevant Committees 2. Education & Standardisation Committee 3. IT for Quality

Standardisation Report The Standardisation Steering Committee establishes terminology and methodology in the ICS’s areas of activity in order to underpin professional standards of clinical management and research. Documents are to be of highest quality consensus, contemporary, engaging, and a valuable contribution to the academic wealth of the ICS and any other collaborating societies.

A white paper is an article that sets out an organisation's position or philosophy about a social, political, or clinical subject, or a not-too-detailed technical explanation of an architecture, framework, or product technology.
