It is designed to empower those living with an ostomy (temporary or permanent) or continent diversion. It identifies the needs and expectations for those in need of this type of surgery and for the community of people currently living with an ostomy or continent diversion. It outlines evidence-based recommendations for the best quality, in-practice ostomy care for healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve a desirable quality of life, a person undergoing ostomy or continental diversion surgery must have access to high quality care in all health care facilities.
