Stoma services

The service covers the East Kent area.  Where possible, the aim of the service is to introduce ourselves to patients prior to their surgery and to provide support, education and adequate pre-operative preparation together with continuity of care throughout their stay in hospital.

This service is for Stoma, Colostomy, Ileostomy, Urostomy, Fistula and Internal Ileo-anal pouch patients, new and established.

Returning and recycling ostomy products

OstomyAid is currently gathering unused supplies from across the UK and from the major manufacturers to put to good use in developing countries. Their mission is:

To provide people in developing countries affected by stoma surgery with the physical resources to support and  improve their long term well-being and to reduce the wastage of usable ostomy appliances and accessories in th UK.

We will redistribute unused ostomy supplies donated to us to countries such as Ethiopia, Malawi and Sudan where the demad for these supplies is ever increasing. By providing these resources to countries most in need and twinning professional stoma care nurses within the hospitals of these countries, these supplies will be worth far more than they could have been in the UK.
