HIgh Output Stomas and Hydration

 

HIgh Output Stomas and Hydration

We were delighted  when  Birmingham IA's new President, Miss Melissa Cunha,  joined us for a Zoom meeting on 4th Oct  to talk about High Output Stomas and Hydration.   Miss Cunha is committed to patient education and was keen to share her professional expertise with Birmingham IA members on this very important topic. This was a great opportunity for us  to learn more about  our condition and how to maximise our health and we were grateful for the extended Question and Answer session which followed her presentation.  We are fortunate to have Miss Cunha as our new President, given her demanding role  as a Colorectal surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth hospital.

Yesterday

This was one of our members and his wife. Tony Mcnicholas and his wife Marie. Tony had been a member with Birmingham IA since 2019 but he sadly passed in may 2025, Tony was a very popular and committed member of our group. Marie always came with Tony to meetings and events. Marie has very kindly donated a sum of money to help Birmingham IA continue providing others with support and a community as Tony found the group helpful for himself and his wife during his time as a member. We are so greatful to Marie and the rest of Tony family and friends for the donation. And I am sure Tony will be sadly missed within the socials and all the members who knew him.

These are a brillant idea for anyone who has a child or someone who might not understand about the stoma/pouch using the books to explain it to them how it helps and what it does and how to cope with them.
