Intestinal Stoma reference books
Entry Posted on Monday, March 10th, 2008
Angela Vujnovich and Charu Patel
Early in the year the committee agreed that some of the funds should be spent on Stoma Care Departments of local hospitals for the benefit of the patients attending their clinics. Richard Bowden compiled a list of names/hospitals, and Mithu Chellaram sent out letters. I took over from Mithu with regards to keeping in touch with the hospitals.
One of the Stoma Care Nurses requested the reference book ‘Intestinal Stoma’ and then we got two more requests for the same book. Nick Moon at the National Office agreed to match the funds and I am pleased to say that just before Christmas these books were presented to Paula Perwone at Kingston Hospital by Paul Bolt, Elaine Cronin at St. Mary’s Hospital by Mithu Chellaram and I presented to Angela Vujnovich at St. Marks Hospital.
Let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!! Charu Patel
