👀📖🖊️

Have you seen our recently revamped 'Stoma Stories' page on our website...?

One of the new stories featured is Andrew's. His story is one of unique courage and bravery as he dealt with a severe case of ulcerative colitis that would necessitate the fashion of a temporary ileostomy and a j-pouch procedure. Read more about his medical story and the 'angels' (stoma nurses) that 'helped [him] through the good and not so good days' here: https://www.nswstoma.org.au/stories/meet-andrew/

❤️‍🩹

AT NSW Stoma, we're committed to fostering a sense of community among our members, and sharing our stories is just one way we do that.

We hope you enjoy Andrew's story, and we again thank Andrew for sharing it with us.

🫵 Have YOU ever thought about sharing your stoma story...? If, and when, you'd like to, we'd love to share it with your fellow ostomates... If you're interested, please email your story and image/s to: info@nswstoma.org.au and we will be in touch. Note: You can either write your story in your own words (as Andrew has done) or be interviewed via the phone and a story written up about you. We can't wait to hear from you! ☺️

🎓📚💰🥳

Congratulations are in order as we congratulate and celebrate one of our three STN Scholarship winners, Alvic Gumpac!

Our NSW Stoma Ltd Penn Foundation Stomal Therapy Nurse Scholarship is awarded to nurses to assist with the cost of obtaining qualifications to become a Stomal Therapy Nurse (STN).

One of our winners for 2025 is Alvic Gumpac!

On his path to becoming a STN, Alvic says:

"Surgical Nursing has always been a strong interest of mine. Throughout my career, I have found wound and stoma management to be both challenging and highly rewarding. While caring for patients with complex wounds and stomas can present significant difficulties, finding effective solutions can be life-changing for both patients and their carers.

To further develop my expertise, I completed a Stomal Therapy course. This has allowed me to expand my knowledge, specialize in this field, and deliver more comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients.

I am currently the Stomal Therapy and Continence CNC of St. Vincent Hospital Sydney."

Thank you for all you do for ostomates, Alvic, and congratulations again! We can't wait to see what your future as a STN holds.

🚗🚇🚢✈️👀 Hi, members!

We've begun to work on a special resource for distribution, a guide to travelling with a stoma!

😄 So far we've already got some great things to share but we thought, well who better to ask for their top travel tips than our members themselves?!

👇 If you've got any handy travel tips as an ostomate to share and wouldn't mind it being featured in our guide (we may include your first name only), please comment below!

🙏 Thanks all! We can't wait to share this one with you!

We asked you what advice you would have for a new ostomate... 👀

Here's what you and your fellow ostomates said! 👇☺️

13/02/2026

Hi members!

🙊 We owe you an apology: in the reminder email that went out on Friday for last night's Zoom meeting, the link was broken in that the text that was displayed was correct but the hyperlink itself (if clicked on, not copy and pasted) didn't work and directed members to the old December Zoom meeting which wasn't happening.

Unfortunately, this has meant some people were unable to attend last night's meeting and for this reason we have decided to repeat the February meeting next month for those that missed it.

📅 We sincerely apologise for the error and those it impacted, and we hope you can join us for the repeat of the meeting next month, on Wednesday, 4th March.

Thanks!
Team NSW Stoma

Hope to see you there! 😀

A new year often comes with a new year's resolution, often to do with bettering our health. So why not do something for yours and check in with your local STN, or our STN Anne Marie Lyons if that isn't a convenient option for you?

It may be worth asking yourself when the last time you saw a stoma nurse was as it's a good idea to check in with one yearly!👩‍⚕️

Having a regular check-up means you're more likely to pick up on any issues before they snowball and otherwise you may just learn about new products or appliances that you didn't know were now on the market!

A reminder NSW Stoma's stomal therapy clinic is available FREE to all our members and it's a service we are very proud to bring you.

🏥Our clinic operates on the first three Thursdays of each month from 11am - 1pm at our office in Stanmore. Our lovely STN Anne Marie is also available for telephone and email consultations. 📞📧

📆 To make an appointment, please email or text:
Anne Marie Lyons STN
📱0468 582 951
📧stomanurse@nswstoma.org.au

Or contact our office on (02) 9565 4315 or email info@nswstoma.org.au. We're always happy to help! ☺️
