The Western Health and Social Care Trust (Western Trust) Stoma Nursing Service is inviting people to join them in their annual Stoma Spring Walk.

The Walk is taking place on Saturday, June 3, 2023.

Participants are asked to meet up by 10.45am in Sainsbury’s Car Park, Strand Road, Derry for the walk to start at 11am sharp.

The route will take walkers along the River Foyle, across the Peace Bridge and finish at St Columb’s Hall where there will be a Stoma Product Exhibition and light lunch served at 12noon.   

Fiona Quigley, Team Leader/Stoma Nurse Specialist (Community), Stoma Nursing Service, which is based at Shantallow Health Centre, said: “We are delighted to invite everyone to our annual Stoma Spring Walk to raise awareness and support for people and their loved ones who are living with a stoma bag in the local community and the positive outcome for their health and wellbeing.

"Many of our patients lead a normal, active life with their stoma and enjoy participating in the weekly Stoma Health and Preventive Exercises (SHAPE) programme led by personal trainer Mary Rose McCready.”

“If you would like to attend please contact the Stoma Nursing Service on: 028 71864365 or email: Fiona.quigley@westerntrust.hscni.net.
