Date: 25 February 2025
The Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP) have produced important new resources to support stoma patients with intimacy and sexual wellbeing.
Recognising a significant gap in available resources, Specialist Nurse Kyle Waring and the CCICP Stoma Service have developed patient-centred guidance to help individuals navigate changes in intimacy after stoma surgery. These inclusive resources cater to a diverse range of patients, including those from LGBTQIA+ communities, ensuring that all individuals receive the support they need.
The materials are freely accessible and aim to support stoma wearers worldwide in their journey toward restoring intimacy and confidence.
