Stoma Care

Managing your stoma care

Whether you have a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy, stoma care is about understanding the needs of your stoma, adjusting to having one and integrating it into your life. Attending a Stoma Nurse Clinic can provide you with the appropriate professional advice or, if you have a query about your stoma care routine, you can also call the CliniMed Careline for free confidential advice on 0808 1596 017.
