The Pelvic Floor Society (TPFS) is an affiliate of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland ( ACPGBI)

The objectives of the Pelvic Floor Society are:

• Support clinical and collaborative trials that address specific questions related to pelvic floor dysfunction.
• To provide a forum for members to engage in critical discussion on the investigation, diagnosis, management of pelvic floor disorders.
• To facilitate the interchange of information on pelvic floor disorders between members and other interested parties in the UK and worldwide.
• Set and monitor standards of pelvic floor investigation and management.
• Support and develop educational initiatives, a training curriculum, and provide courses related to the investigation and management of pelvic floor problems.
• Engage with the NHS, DOH, CRGs, NICE and other bodies to develop a strategic approach to the provision and commissioning of pelvic floor services.
• Organise and fund national pelvic floor clinical and research fellowships.
• Provide an advisory role to the Royal colleges and related specialist societies.

The society is keenly aware of the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach in the care of our patients. Colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, urogynaecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, radiologists, chronic pain practitioners, research practitioners, GI physiologists, continence advisors, specialist nurses, behavioural therapists, psychologists with an interest in pelvic floor disorders and clinical scientists with an interest in colonic and pelvic floor physiology are encouraged to join under the appropriate membership categories. 

Membership will be granted based on the ability to demonstrate excellence in the delivery of specialist pelvic floor services. Members should be actively engaged in the study or managemnet of patients with pelvic floor disorders. There is currently no subscription charge for the membership of TPFS provided that colorectal surgeons are members of ACPGBI and other allied healthcare professionals are members of their respective professional associations.
