An independent stoma care service.
This article describes the establishment of an independent stoma care service, and the problems the author encountered. Set up just over four years ago, it is one of the few independent stoma care services in the UK. It currently caters exclusively for patients in private hospitals in London and the South-East of England, and the author also holds a clinic in Harley Street. Over 300 patients benefit from the service.
