title: Choosing the correct stoma appliance.
abstract: There is a bewildering supply of stoma appliances on the market that are available on the Drug Tarriff, IX part C, so how does the health professional make an objective choice? A new stoma patient, with no previous experience of stoma appliances, has to rely on the advice of ward staff or the stoma care nurse. It is therefore necessary for nurses to be aware of the choices that are available.
