11 people from across Lothians’ HSCPs attended Edinburgh College, Digital Care Hub to learn more about stoma care. This was a really enjoyable interactive session with participants gaining more understanding of how and why stomas may be required, and the physical and psychological care that a person may require as they live their lives with a stoma. The participants then undertook practical learning by practicing applying and removing stoma bags on ‘Doris’ the manikin (pictured). All the participants received a certificate of attendance at the end of the session which they can save in their portfolio of learning.
Well done to all the participants!
The next sessions are still to be finalised, notes of interest can be made using the online form on the previous page.
