Leading the session is Mary Lynne Van Poelgeest-Pomfret, President of WFIPP and one of the most outspoken and committed patient advocates in our field.
WFIPP is a global patient advocacy organization representing people living with incontinence and pelvic floor disorders. Its mission is clear:

For decades, Lynne has worked internationally to build bridges between patients, clinicians, researchers, industry and policymakers. WFIPP functions as exactly that: ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป.
A key theme of this webinar is ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ not as a checkbox in guidelines, but as a fundamental shift in mindset. Because true quality of care does not start with what is technically possible, but with what matters to the person in front of you.
Lynne often uses a term she coined herself: โ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐กโ A deliberate combination of collaboration and action.
Because listening alone is not enough. Collaboration without implementation changes nothing. And action without partnership risks missing what truly matters.
If you work in pelvic floor health, this session invites you to reflect:
๐นAre we systematically including patient perspectives in research and innovation?
๐นAre we designing care pathways ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ patients โ or still primarily ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ them?
๐นWhat does meaningful partnership actually look like in daily practice?
This webinar offers insight into WFIPPโs international network of patient organizations and stakeholders and how collaboration across sectors can drive real impact.
