Stoma care nursing in partnership

Stoma care is a very specialist area and many Hospital and Primary Care Trusts choose to offer this kind of care in partnership with SecuriCare. This means that SecuriCare supply stoma care sisters to work in hospitals and in the community. The company is in fact the UK’s leading independent supplier of specialist stoma nursing services.

The stoma service is provided without charge, ie it is not paid for by the NHS, but is funded by SecuriCare. We are able to do this through the dispensing fees earned by the home delivery service.
