A parent who recently used our facilities said, “When we attended an outpatient appointment with our daughter, we used the Changing Places facility to change our daughters pad to ensure she was comfortable. Changing Places facilities are so important for people with disabilities and complex needs to ensure they can access the community. Standard disabled toilets are simply not accessible enough for many people today.”
Our Changing Places toilet also importantly has a stoma shelf for anyone who needs a clean and safe space to change their stoma bag.
Lead Stoma Care Nurse Specialist, Fiona Anscomb, said: “Having a stoma shelf is incredibly helpful for patients when changing their stoma pouch. It provides a clean, stable surface to hold supplies, reducing the risk of spills or contamination. This simple addition can make the process more comfortable and manageable, especially for those with limited mobility or dexterity. A stoma shelf promotes independence and confidence, making daily care easier and less stressful.”
