Support Groups
We now have various support groups up and running locally, please do come along for a chat and meet other Ostomists! Please note, some dates may not be covered by a stoma nurse due to staffing, but please feel free to attend and chat to each other. All these sessions are drop ins, no need to book. Please just turn up and join in, in a safe and secure environment.
Please note we do not have clinical space for a stoma review, we can only do this during a clinic appointment.

Water confident sessions
Our water confident sessions have now been rebooked for the year, due to the nature of the outside pool, these will start in April/May. We ask for your support with these sessions to allow us to continue to run them. We are looking at alternative venues to be able to run these all year around. We run male and female sessions throughout the season.
These sessions are intended to boost confidence in the water after stoma formation and don't need to attend every session.
These sessions are free of charge but have limited spaces. We would love for you to join us.
The current proposed dates are below, please note these may change dependant on when the pool opens / staffing.
