Stoma Care

Stoma Care

In taking care of a temporary or permanent stoma, you and those taking care of you may need help to empty and change the stoma appliance. If you have a stoma, fistula or internal pouch, our home visiting stoma nurses can help you by providing direct stoma care, support and training. Our specialist stoma nurses will show you how to care for your stoma, including how to empty and change the appliance on your own or with the help of your family or carer. You will be given advice regarding your diet, ongoing supplies, and common stoma-related issues.e

Our stoma nurses can provide care for any stoma including an ileostomy, urostomy, or colostomy, by managing the stoma dressing and bags after the surgery, and by educating the patient and their family to take appropriate care of the stoma, and help you both emotionally navigate the changes and return to an independent life as soon as possible.
