Practical Basic Stoma Care

It might be overwhelming and challenging for the client and their support structure to receive stoma treatment due to the fact that their body image and elimination processes have changed. However, clients can safely resume their regular daily activities with the help of supportive stoma care management in the community setting. This training course provides an overview of stoma management designed specifically for care workers so they can develop the confidence, knowledge and skills that are required to support people with stomas.

Participants will have an opportunity to practice their skills under direct supervision and will have access to a range of stoma equipment during the training session; they will be encouraged to ask questions.

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:

    • Understand their roles and responsibilities in providing stoma care, ensuring they meet professional standards and guidelines.
    • Identify the anatomy of the digestive system and the different types of stomas, recognising their impact on client care.
    • Understanding the care plans for individuals with stomas, considering their unique needs and preferences.
    • Safely assist with stoma care tasks, changing ostomy bags, and cleaning the stoma site to prevent complications.
    • Recognise common complications related to stomas and know how to report and address issues effectively.
    • Follow infection control practices and ensure the proper disposal of waste materials to maintain hygiene and safety.
    • Monitor the stoma site and surrounding skin for any changes, ensuring that concerns are reported promptly in line with care protocols.

The Practical Basic Stoma Care Training course is delivered by a registered nurse and training certificates are valid for one year. Participants will have an opportunity to practice their skills during the training session and will be encouraged to ask questions.

A certificate of completion is issued to all participants upon successful completion of the training.
