Mission Statement
I will use my expertise in the review activities and in the planning of the best possible program for the ICS Annual Scientific Meetings giving voice to nurses, physiotherapists, scientists, fellows, urologists, gynaecologists, neurologists. I am willing to bring dedication, passion in this multidisciplinary team with a collegial and collaborative approach. I would encourage younger people who have interest in this field to join ICS, to submit their research, to present and share their data at the annual scientific meetings. I would work to have programs with more practical, didactic, interactive and hands on lectures. With the extensive experience I have in this field, I feel I can add an extra dimension to the work of this committee.
