Arron Corless of Birmingham Airport will be joining us to discuss travel with an ileostomy or Internal pouch.  Links will be sent to all members prior to the meeting. 

'Meet the Nurses'

We will be holding more of our popular 'Meet the Nurses' sessions as below. This is your chance to meet with stoma nurses from local hospitals and to ask questions about stoma care. We are very lucky in Birmingham that the SCNs volunteer to give up their time in the evenings after a long day at work, and we are very grateful to them.

Dates are as below. The Zoom links will be circulated to members before the meetings. For further details, please contact, mike.jameson@iasupport.org
