Advanced Stoma Care Module

Advanced Stoma Care Module at the University of East Anglia

The long awaited Level 7 online Advanced Stoma Care Module at the University of East Anglia is now open for applications!

We are pleased to report fantastic progress with the development of the new online 40-credit level 7 module ‘Advanced Stoma Care’ with the University of East Anglia (UEA). The module, taken together with the core module ‘Using Evidence to Lead and Enhance Practice’ will enable students to step off the programme with a postgraduate certificate (PGCert) in Advanced Professional Practice, or to continue towards the 3-year MSc in Advanced Professional Practice. ‘Using Evidence to Lead and Enhance Practice’ went online in September 2018, providing an excellent foundation for ‘Advanced Stoma Care’, launched in January 2019.

For those interested in undertaking the PGCert or stand-alone module, please visit the UEA website or email Gabby, Course Leader, gabrielle.thorpe@uea.ac.uk to make enquires.

ASCN UK is keen to support members financially to undertake the PGCert and we encourage you to apply for part or full funding via the Jean Preston Fund (click here for more info) well in advance to ensure the funds are in place.

We are also delighted to advise that Ileostomy & Interal Pouch Association (IA) are offering 6 bursaries to Stoma Care Nurse Specialists based in the UK wishing to understake the Course, for more details on how to apply click here.

For more information on the course, please contact Dr Gabby Thorpe on gabrielle.thorpe@uea.ac.uk
