Manchester Regional Membership of The Ileostomy Association

aims to help anyone within the Greater Manchester Area
who has had, or is about to have,an Ileostomy or Internal Pouch  

operation byhelping them get back to 'normal life'

We aim to offer advice and support on a range of issues
including stoma management and how this will affect
aspects of life such as social activities and relationships.

We aim to work with the Primary Care Services in order
to improve the quality of patient care and to shorten the
length of the rehabilitation process.

Manchester-IA aims to inspire people living with a stoma,

enabling them to live their life to its full potential.

Finally, we aim to attract, assist and help those 'ostomists'

of all ages, beliefs and ethnic origins by providing advice,

social contact, support and assurance..
