Supported by the British Journal of Nursing and Gastrointestinal Nursing, this free, CPD certified virtual conference will focus on innovative education for Stoma Care Nurses.

One of the fundamental issues for all nurses that care for people with a stoma is maintaining skin health. When looking through the many hundreds of publications on the topic of stoma care it becomes clear that skin care can be problematic for both people with a stoma and the nurses trying to assist them. The consensus document Keep it simple: peristomal skin health and quality of life, available from the British Journal of Nursing, seeks to help improve care in this area. The consensus is written in conjunction with experts in ostomy and dermatology and describes the importance of assessing patients and classifying their skin condition when it occurs. This conference aims to both highlight and expand upon key points of the consensus, led by experts in the field.

Hollister and Dansac are the proud sponsors of the British Journal of Nursing's Stoma Care Nurse of the Year Award.

BJN will be hosting a week-long celebration of amazing nursing accomplishments and innovations from 8th–12th March. This will be held following our prestigious annual awards to recognise and celebrate excellence in nursing on the 8th March.

BJN’s Awards Week will see interviews from all of our winners where they will discuss their award-winning work, to share their experiences and inspire others to introduce changes to their own practice. Each day of the Week will also feature important educational updates on a variety of specialist topics to keep nurses up-to-date with the latest developments in their field.
