The Ostomy service provides specialist nursing advice, assessment, support and supplies to people of all ages who have a stoma.

A stoma is a surgically created opening in the body e.g. the abdomen that requires the use of a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy bag.

What to expect

We will conduct a full assessment and then work with you to develop a plan to ensure your continence needs are met.

If you are able to attend a clinic you will be requested to do so. The clinics operate an appointment system to ensure you are not kept waiting.

If you aren't able to attend a clinic the nurse will contact you following referral to arrange a visiting time at your home.

How to access this service

Access to the Ostomy service is by referral from the hospital or GP.

Referrals can be made by e-Referral, mail or for urgent cases via the telephone.
