Thousands of people in the UK undergo stoma surgeries and live with stomas. While having a stoma can be stressful during the initial stages; a person can feel more confident once they understand how to change stoma pouches; maintain hygiene; and prevent leakage. The good news is; wearing a stoma need not prevent anyone from enjoying their life to the fullest; including sports; physical activities; travel; and intimacy. This course is written with a view to help raise awareness of what stomas are; why they are created; and the factors involved in the day-to-day management of stomas.
