Comprehensive stoma care and education
About Total Stoma Care
Total Stoma Care is dedicated to delivering comprehensive and individualised stomal therapy support.
We believe that every patient deserves specialist care through all stages of their stoma journey.
We know some people are unable to visit a hospital or clinic so provide in home visits as well as visiting Residential Facilities.
Supporting Aged Care and NDIS providers to better support their residents and clients with both clinical reviews and education sessions are important to our mission.
Our mission is to ensure access to exceptional and compassionate stoma care whilst enhancing indivduals quality of life by providing education and support to ostomates, their families and carers.
Our goal is to provide ostomates and carers with total stoma care, education and support.
Our Stomal Therapy Nurse
Amy completed her Bachelor of Nursing at the University of South Australia in 2010 and commenced her TPPP at the Lyell McEwin Hospital in 2011 where she quickly developed a passion for surgical (more specifically colorectal) nursing.
She completed her Graduate Certificate in Stomal Therapy Nursing in 2019 and has worked at the Royal Adelaide Hospital as an STN since. She provides expert, compassionate care to patients both pre and post operatively, in the inpatient and outpatient setting.
Amy is passionate about increasing awareness about stomas and educating others, so they can provide the best quality stoma care to patients. Removing the stigma about having a stoma and normalising life with a stoma are some of her priorities.
