WCET UK is the only professional organisation solely for nurses with an interest in stoma care and related subjects.
| Thank you to all who have supported World Ostomy Day. We have been amazed by the interest shown in Manchester, Glasgow, Reading and Birmingham and hope that we have managed to spread the word!! At each venue there was the chance to enter our competition to win a Wii. There were many entrants and the winner was VALERIE HAINES from Reading. Thank you to all who entered and congratulations to Valerie. Please continue to help us raise the profile of living with a stoma. We are determined to progress!!! |
The objectives of the WCET are:
- To provide a corporate identity for those concerned with the care of people with stomas.
- To provide the opportunity for members to meet for the purpose of discussing common interests related to enterostomal therapy.
- To promote activities which will assist members engaged in enterostomal therapy to increase their knowledge and enhance their contribution to the subject of stoma therapy.
- To promote increased awareness in others of the role and contribution of the WCET.
