Colostomy UK works to raise awareness\, tackle stigma\, and influence positive change in healthcare and societal attitudes. \nUnderstanding life with a stoma \nShauna from Colostomy UK will explain what a stoma is\, why someone might need one\, and the different types of stomas. She will also explore the wide-ranging impacts that living with a stoma can have—not just physically\, but emotionally and socially to tackle misconceptions and stoma stigma. \nWe hope to be joined by a Colostomy UK volunteer with lived experience to share their journey and experiences of living with a stoma. \nSupport for health and social care professionals \nColostomy UK supports health and social care professionals to improve the experiences of people living with a stoma in those settings\, and improve overall care. This ranges from resources and training\, to working collaboratively to improve support. \nThis talk is suitable for professionals or members of the public wishing to know more about life with a stoma. \nThere will be an opportunity to ask questions after the talk. \nRegister for free \nSign up to our newsletter to hear about future events.
