Our Stomal Therapy Education Days (formerly, ‘Regional Education’ or ‘Information Days’) provide an opportunity for ostomates to come together for education and support.

Speakers include Stomal Therapy Nurses and Stoma Association representatives as well as fellow ostomates to provide a patient perspective.

With plenty of time to ask questions, it’s an excellent way to learn more about your Association and gain useful information and tips to help you manage your stoma.

Anyone with a colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy or external pouch procedure is invited to attend, as are family, friends, carers, and healthcare professionals.

Our Stomal Therapy Education Days are also attended by supplier company representatives and provide an opportunity for members to find out more about the latest products available under the Scheme and additional products available for purchase.
