In Our Webinar, Sue Will Cover

• • The incidence of leakage and how commonly it occurs
  • Why and when leaks happen, including contributing factors
  • How individuals recognise and define a leak in their own experience
  • What occurs to the peristomal skin during the leakage process, and how this can lead to a cycle of ongoing leakage and skin damage
  • Practical hints and tips to help manage leakage, focusing on:
    • Self-assessment techniques
    • Optimising product selection and use

The session aims to provide both clinical insight and practical guidance, empowering individuals and clinicians to better understand, prevent, and manage leakage effectively.

We’ll also be joined by someone with lived experience of living with a stoma, who will share their personal journey of managing leakage, the challenges they faced, and what helped them regain confidence.
