Paul Russell-Roberts – Stoma Care Nurse Specialist
“With nearly 25 years of experience in surgical nursing, my journey has been dedicated to improving patient care and empowering both patients and nurses. Since becoming a Stoma Care Nurse Specialist in 2011, I’ve been passionate about developing protocols, policies, and digital platforms that make a real difference in the lives of ostomates. Digital communication and media are close to my heart, and I’m always looking for innovative ways to enhance patient care through technology.
I’ve had the pleasure of publishing extensively on the use of assessment tools within stoma care and the importance of language and communication. Education is a true passion of mine, and I love sharing knowledge that can make a difference.
I’m here to provide insights, answer your questions, and help you feel more confident and informed about your healthcare journey.”
