Shownotes

Beyond the Bag discusses the challenges faced by individuals living with a stoma, emphasising the need for standardised care pathways.

Specialist Stoma Care is complex and those complexities start right at the beginning of an ostomates journey, when they are first diagnosed. 

ASCN UK’s Acting Chair, Angie Perrin explores the journey from diagnosis to post-operative support with Specialist Stoma Care Nurses Natasha Rolls and Sally Nightingale and expert by experience, Caroline Bramwell.

You’ll hear about the importance of preparing mentally for surgery, the role of specialist stoma care nurses, and the need for standardised care pathways.

Learn more about the Advancing Stoma Care Services initiative on the ASCN UK website.
