Advanced Bowel Care & Stoma Care
Competency Based Learning
Overview
Delivering personal care with dignity, respect, and clinical precision is a cornerstone of high-quality disability and aged care support. Our Bowel & Stoma Care Training Course is designed to provide Support Workers with the essential skills and knowledge to confidently assist clients with their bowel care needs, including those requiring complex bowel care or living with a stoma.
This comprehensive training explores the structure and function of the gastrointestinal system, highlights common bowel-related health issues, and covers safe, hygienic practices for supporting participants with bowel management plans. You’ll also learn how to assist clients with colostomy care, including changing and managing stoma appliances, and understanding the emotional and lifestyle impacts of stoma-related conditions.
