Meeting the challenges: delivering interactive stoma care education.
This article illustrates how the authors used the following frameworks: audit cycle, clinical governance, essence of care and evaluations to create a fun, interactive and transferable method of delivering an education programme in the workplace environment. The article demonstrates the benefits of using action planning, benchmarking and overcoming difficulties in delivering education across two organizational boundaries (primary and secondary care). 'Today's 6 x 30 minute Stoma Challenges are...' a full and fun afternoon of interactive stoma education for primary and secondary care staff delivered in an innovative and creative way. The main objective is to enhance qualified and unqualified nurses existing knowledge and skills in relation to stoma care. Also encouraging staff development therefore enhancing the patients' experiences regardless of whether they are in a primary or secondary care setting.
