Stoma care training courses are aimed at nurses, healthcare assistants and care workers that are responsible for delivering stoma care to their clients.
Attendees will gain an understanding of the digestive system, different types of stoma, diet and the implications and side effects that a stoma can cause.
According to stomawise over 21,000 new stomas are formed every year in patients.
If you want to become a stoma nurse then the Association of Stoma Care Nurses UK provides educational grants, membership and events to help you become qualified in this field of work.
