AbstractStoma care nurse specialists are valued for their diverse expertise, but it is essential that all practitioners who regularly care for people with stomas have the opportunity to develop professionally and influence this important area of practice. The vision of a clinical and educational team from Suffolk and south Norfolk led to the development of innovative web-based learning material. The aim is to inspire nurses to engage actively with people who have a stoma. 'Professional care of the person with a stoma' is about caring for the whole person, physically and emotionally, from the period before surgery, to their continuing care in the community. An overview of four aspects of stoma care is presented here as a way of sharing with a wider audience the expert practice harnessed during the development of this web-based module.
