Cognitive impairment & additional needs
Providing your stoma patients with the right assessments, support, and products helps them enhance their ability to manage day-to-day life.
Guidance and resources
Supporting your patients who have special requirements, or need extra help, can be challenging for both you and them. You may have ostomy patients with dementia who find the experience confusing and distressing. Or perhaps you have patients with limited dexterity, neuropathy, impaired vision, or learning disabilities that make managing a stoma a bit more difficult.
But there are ways to overcome these challenges, and we’ve gathered the latest data and insights to help you expand your knowledge and make a positive impact.
Our webinar series, clinical paper, and case studies give you real life examples, results, and strategies – along with a review of the best products to use – so you can offer your stoma patients with cognitive impairment or additional needs the best possible outcomes.
View our resources below for some examples of both carers and clinicians managing ostomates with cognitive impairment.
