PHU Stoma Care Team welcomes patients to its first Open Day in more than ten years

Our PHU Stoma Care Team recently welcomed around 250 patients and their friends and family to its first Open Day in more than ten years at QA Hospital.

The day gave people living with a stoma the opportunity to meet others, share experiences, chat with the team outside of a clinical setting and discover some of the latest stoma care products.

A highlight was a fascinating look back at the history of stoma care from Kevin Hayles of SecuriCare Home Delivery Service, who was named Stoma Care Nurse Specialist of the Year 2026.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly about the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences.

A huge well done to our Stoma Care Team and everyone involved in making the day such a success!

If you did not receive an invite to this session, but would like to be invited to future events, please contact the Stoma Team on 02392 286679.
