Stoma Healthcare Professionals

Despite early mobilisation being part of enhanced surgical recovery pathways (ERAS)⁶ and abdominal rehabilitation being included in stoma clinical guidelines⁷, patients are frequently told to be cautious, rest and not lift after surgery. They become less active and live in fear of parastomal hernia or causing themselves harm. Convatec is here to help. In partnership with professionals like yourself, we have carefully crafted Rethinking Recovery resources to help you directly impact stoma patient rehabilitation and outcomes.
