Stoma Care Management (CPD Certificate) Training

This training helps nurses, carers, and support workers learn how to care for people who have a stoma. A stoma is an opening made on the tummy to help with going to the toilet, and looking after it properly is really important.

Caring for someone with a stoma isn’t just about using the right products — it’s also about helping them feel comfortable, confident, and respected. This course teaches both the hands-on skills and the emotional side of stoma care, so you can support people in a kind and professional way.

Course Overview

The Stoma Care Management Training includes both learning and practice. You’ll get to understand the steps involved in stoma care and then try them out using training tools and mannequins. Our experienced trainers share real-life tips and advice to help you feel ready to handle everyday care — and any problems that might come up.

You’ll learn why stomas are created, how to choose the right equipment, and how to support patients with advice, kindness, and proper care. After the course, you’ll feel more confident helping people who live with a stoma.
