Ayello, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CWON, ETN, MAPWCA, FAAN WCET Vice President Happy 2018! This is an important year for WCET as it marks our 40 th anniversary. Throughout the year we will be celebrating this special milestone. Since WCET is a unique global organization, focusing on our international delegates, seemed like a great place to start. WCET has members in over 60 countries. As per our constitution, WCET members in each country have the responsibility of electing a qualified person to serve a 2-year term to represent them. That elected individual, the WCET International Delegate (ID) is the link between country members and the WCET Executive Board (EB). A delegate can be defined as a person who has been tasked with a specific job or given a specific purpose. Each ID asks for feedback from their country members on issues of interest regarding the WCET and forwards it to the EB. The ID also casts the vote for their country during the general business meeting at the biennial congress as well as any electronic internet voting that may occur outside of congress (for example EB election). Thus, the ID has an important role in being a conduit of communication. They make sure that the voices of their country members are heard by the EB and that their country members are informed about what is happening in the WCET organization. The ID also encourages colleagues to join the WCET and be active committee members. The EB is grateful that so many over the years have given of their time to fulfil this volunteer role of WCET ID. This issue of the WCET BullETin highlights IDs who responded to Laurent Chabal s invitation to submit a manuscript about themselves. Each story is as different and distinctive as the WCET. Yet a common theme among the IDs is their passion and determination to improve care for people in their country. WCET IDs are an irreplaceable asset! So please take time to read all their exceptional stories. As the EB liaison to the IDs, I have enjoyed working with all of you. I have appreciated hearing from all of you and seeing your tremendous response in putting a welcome letter from your country on the WCET BullETin January

2 webpage. Soon you will be submitting your country reports that are required prior to our biennial congress. Look for an from me with more details. Do not forget to attend the ID meeting. Please bring your country clothing and participate in the Parade of Nations that is such an inspiring part of the congress opening ceremony. Although it is with sadness that I write this final VP message for the BullETin, I look forward to serving you as your next President. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to our IDs and all whose efforts have enabled the WCET to celebrate 40 years of stretching Norma s dream to reach around the world. Sincerely, Elizabeth 表扬我们的 WCET 国际代表 Elizabeth A. Ayello, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CWON, ETN, MAPWCA, FAAN WCET 副总裁, (Thanks to Michelle Lee for this Chinese translation) 2018 年快乐! 这是 WCET 重要的一年, 因为它标志着我们成立 40 周年 在未来一年中, 我们将庆祝这特殊的里程碑 由于 WCET 是一个独特的全球性组织, 集中讨论我们的国际代表, 似乎是一个很好的起点 WCET 在 60 多个国家均拥有会员, 根据我们的宪法, 每个国家的 WCET 会员都有责任选出一名合资格成员担任两年任期的代表 这名当选的会员,WCET 国际代表 (ID) 是国家成员和 WCET 执行委员会 (EB) 之间的桥梁 这代表可以被定义为一位 负责某项工作或被赋予特定职责 的人 每位国际代表都会要求其国家成员就 WCET 感兴趣的事项提出反馈意见, 并将意见转发给执行委员会 国际代表还要在两年一度的会员大会期间为其国家的会员投票, 以及可能在会员大会以外举行互联网投票 ( 如执行委员会选举 ) 因此, 国际代表在沟通渠道中起着重要的作用 他们需要确保他们国家成员的声音被执行委员会听到, 并且让他们国家的成员知道 WCET 组织的情况 国际代表还要鼓励同僚加入 WCET 并成为活跃的会员 执行委员会非常感谢这么多年来, 他们花了很多时间来完成这 WCET 国际代表志愿者的角色 本期 WCET 公告集中于国际代表, 他们回应 Laurent Chabal 的邀请递交关于自己的著述 每一个故事都与 WCET 一样, 独特而出众 但是国际代表的一个共同主题是他们对改善本国人民的护理的情意和决心 WCET 国际代表是无可替代的资产! 所以, 请花点时间阅读他们所有杰出的故事 作为执行委员会与国际代表的联络人, 我很享受和大家一起工作 我很高兴收到你们的极大回应, 看到你们 在 WCET 网页上发出你们国家的欢迎函件 很快你们就会提交两年一度的大会之前所要求的国家报告 你 可以从我的电子邮件中查询详细资料 不要忘记参加国际代表会议 请带来你的国家服饰, 参加民族检阅, BullETin January

Ayello, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CWON, ETN, MAPWCA, FAAN Vice-Présidente du WCET (Thanks to Laurent Chabal for this French translation) Joyeuse année 2018! Cette année est importante pour le WCET puisqu elle est marque notre 40 e anniversaire. Tout au long de celle-ci nous allons célébrer cette étape importante. Comme le WCET est une organisation globale unique, se center sur nos délégués internationaux est un très bon début pour le faire. Le WCET a des membres répartis sur plus de 60 pays. Conformément à notre constitution, les membres du WCET de chaque pays ont la responsabilité d élire une personne qualifiée pour les représenter pendant un mandat de 2 ans. Cette personne élue, le Délégué International (DI) du WCET, est le lien entre les membres de son pays et le Comité Exécutif (CE) du WCET. Un délégué peut se définir comme étant une personne qui a été chargée d un travail particulier ou qui a reçu un mandat spécifique». Chaque DI regroupe les avis des membres de son pays sur des sujets d intérêt en lien avec le WCET et les font remonter au CE. Les DI transmettent également les votes des membres de leur pays lors de l assemblée générale qui a lieu lors de nos congrès biennaux, comme lors de tout vote électronique qui peut avoir lieu en dehors de ces congrès (par exemple pour l élection du CE). Ainsi, les DI ont un important rôle de relais d informations. Ils s assurent que les votes de leur pays sont entendus par le CE et que chaque membre de ce pays soit informé de ce qui se passe au sein de l organisation du WCET. Le DI encourage également ses collègues de devenir membre du WCET et de s engager activement dans une de nos commissions. Le CE est reconnaissant auprès de tous ceux qui ont donné de leur temps, tout au long des années, pour jouer ce rôle bénévole de DI du WCET. Ce numéro du BullETin du WCET met en lumière les DI qui ont répondu à l invitation de Laurent Chabal pour soumettre un texte à propos d eux-même. Chaque histoire de vie est différente et particulière comme celle du WCET. Cela dit un thème commun se retrouve : la passion des DI et leur détermination à améliorer la qualité des soins auprès personnes soignées dans leur pays. Les DI du WCET sont un atout irremplaçable! Alors prenez le temps de lire leurs exceptionnelles histoires personnelles. Comme lien entre le CE et les DI, j ai beaucoup apprécié de travailler avec vous. J ai aimé vous entendre et prendre connaissance de vos formidables réponses en envoyant vos messages de bienvenus de la part de votre pays, messages postés sur le site web du WCET. Vous allez bientôt remettre vos rapports concernant votre pays, rapports dont nous aurons besoin avant votre prochain congrès Mondial. Merci de prendre connaissance du courriel que je vais vous envoyer à ce sujet. N oubliez pas de venir assister à notre rencontre des DI. Merci aussi de prendre avec BullETin January

4 vous un habit traditionnel de votre pays pour participer à la Parade des Nations. C est une partie si inspirante de la cérémonie d ouverture de nos congrès. Bien que cela soit avec tristesse que j écrive ce dernier message de la Vice-Présidente pour le BullETin, j ai hâte de vous servir en tant que prochaine Présidente. Merci à nos DI, du fond de mon cœur, pour tous les efforts qui ont permis au WCET de célébrer les 40 ans de rêves de Norma d atteindre le monde entier. Sincèrement, Elizabeth Khas untuk menghormati Perwakilan Antarabangsa WCET Elizabeth A. Ayello, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CWON, ETN, MAPWCA, FAAN Naib Presiden WCET (Thanks to Mohd Rahime Bin Ab Wahab for this Malaysian translation) Selamat tahun 2018! Ini adalah tahun yang penting kepada WCET kerana ia menandakan hari ulang tahunnya yang ke-40. Oleh itu kita akan meraikan kejayaan pencapaian istimewa ini. Oleh kerana WCET adalah sebuah organisasi global yang unik, memberi tumpuan kepada perwakilan antarabangsa kita, adalah suatu permulaan yang terbaik. WCET telah mempunyai ahli di lebih dari 60 buah negara. Mengikut perlembagaan kita, ahli WCET di setiap negara mempunyai tanggungjawab memilih seorang individu yang berkelayakan untuk berkhidmat selama 2 tahun untuk mewakili mereka. Individu yang telah dilantik sebagai perwakilan antarabangsa (ID) adalah penghubung antara ahli disetiap negara dengan Lembaga Eksekutif (EB) WCET. Seseorang perwakilan boleh ditakrifkan sebagai Individu yang telah diberi tugas tertentu atau mempunyai tanggungjawab khas. Setiap ID diminta memberikan maklum balas daripada ahli negara mereka mengenai isuisu berkaitan WCET dan menyampaikannya kepada EB. ID ini juga berperanan untuk mengundi mewakili negara masing-masing semasa mesyuarat agong yang diadakan di persidangan dwi tahunan termasuk juga mana-mana pengundian elektronik malalui internet yang mungkin berlaku diluar persidangan (contohnya pemilihan EB). Oleh itu, ID mempunyai peranan penting sebagai medium komunikasi untuk menyalurkan maklumat. Mereka juga akan memastikan suara setiap ahli dari negaranya didengari oleh EB dan ahli negara yang diwakilinya mendapat maklumat dan perkembangan semasa yang berlaku dalam organisasi WCET. ID ini juga akan menggalakkan individu dinegaranya untuk menyertai WCET dan menjadi ahli jawatankuasa yang aktif. EB sangat menghargai sumbangan yang telah dilakukan bertahun tahun termasuk masa mereka sendiri untuk menjalankan peranan sebagai sukarelawan ID WCET. Isu WCET BullETin kali ini lebih fokus kepada ID yang memberi maklumbalas kepada jemputan Laurent Chabal untuk menghantar manuskrip mengenai diri mereka. Setiap cerita adalah berbeza dan mempunyai keunikan tersendiri sepertimana organisasi WCET ini sendiri, namun tema umum di kalangan ID adalah keghairahan dan keazaman mereka untuk meningkatkan perawatan kepada penduduk di negara mereka. ID WCET adalah aset yang tidak dapat ditukar ganti! Oleh itu, sila luangkan masa untuk membaca semua cerita menarik dari mereka. Sebagai penghubung EB kepada ID, saya sangat gembira semasa bekerja dengan anda semua. Saya juga amat menghargai dapat melihat dan menerima tindak balas yang luar biasa dari anda terutama dalam ucapan aluan dari negara anda di laman web WCET. Tidak lama lagi anda akan mengemukakan laporan negara anda seperti yang diperlukan sebelum persidangan dwitahunan kita yang seterusnya. Sila rujuk kiriman e-mel dari saya untuk keterangan lanjut.

7 We would also add our twitter page in website for live feeds: #wcet2018 Looking for more about the Venue: More information on: Get ready for the Malaysian experience! Meet some of the WCET International Delegates WCET Australian ID Helen Richards, CNC, STN I was nominated to this position of Australian WCET ID in February 2017 and am still finding my feet in this role. I have been a Registered Nurse for over 30 years and a Stomal Therapy Nurse (STN), (we use this terminology instead of ET) for 24 years, completing this training with Elizabeth English at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, a pivotal point in my nursing career. We were encouraged to become WCET member at this time, and except for a small lapse in paying my membership one year, I have been a member ever since. I have always worked part time in the Stomal Therapy role being flexible to meet my organizational needs as well as the patient s requirements. It can be a shuffle at times getting the balance right, but it seems to work. As a small provider working at Wollongong Private Hospital, I used to question my worth compared to larger organisations, but now I truly believe every patient I can help is just as important, and that is my role. In my hospital, I have 5 colorectal surgeons and 5 urology specialists. Some weeks I can have 5 patients in and at other times I can go for 5 weeks without any stoma patients, hence the need for flexibility. In my training, we covered continence and wound care, but my main experience is related to care of stoma patients, and I dabble in the other roles. I see inpatients and follow up my clients who can visit with me as an outpatient. We have no community stomal therapy nurses who specialize in stoma care, so it is up to me to continue to care for those who have had surgery in our facility. For me this gives continuity in care, and allows me to develop a good rapport with my patients and their families. In 1993, I started a peer support group for the patients in our region, and have facilitated this bi monthly meeting for over 15 years now. I still have some original members attending with new faces appearing all the time. We generally have 20 to 30 attendees each meeting, each getting something different from their attendance. The region I am in has me employed at the private hospital, and a fellow STN employed at our public hospital. Together we work to provide bi annual rotating patient and staff education days. The last patient day had around 100 attendees, and our staff day had somewhere near 80. We are proud of the work we do together and strive to do the best we can for our region. There are between ostomates in our area and between us we support and help both new and old patients. In Australia, our patients gain their supplies through the stoma appliance scheme. Our taxes fund the supply of ostomy items to our clients. They each pay an annual membership fee and postage to have their supplies delivered to their front door. As stomal therapy nurses, we are able to advise them on the product most suited to their needs, and they then go on to independently continue sending forward their orders on a monthly basis. Generally, clients are entitled to 90 closed, or 30 drainable or 30 urostomy bags per month. As stomal therapy nurses in our country, we are free to choose whatever companies product we feel is best suited to their needs. Patients are also able to choose what they like, but we encourage them to do this with the support and guidance of their stomal therapy nurse. BullETin January

8 Since 2013, I have also been blessed to be a part of the Australia: Kenya Twinning program and have spent 14 weeks over 4 trips helping to provide support and education to our Kenyan nurses. It has been an opportunity that has changed who I am and how I see the world. Working with some amazing Australian nurses and stretching way out of my comfort zone was a worthwhile cause. I see my role as the Australian ID is to give back a bit of what I have received, and I hope to represent my country well. WCET Canada ID Kimberly LeBlanc, PhD, RN, CETN (C) I have been an Enterostomal Therapy Nurse and member of the Canadian Association for Enterostomal therapy (CAET) and WCET since I see great value in blending academics and clinical practice. Currently I work in private practice in Ottawa Canada, focusing on skin health in the elderly and complex wounds. I provide consultation in the long-term care population, acute care facilities and in an outpatient wound care clinic. In addition, I am an Adjunct Professor with the University of Western Ontario Masters in Wound Care Program and a visiting lecturer at the McGill University School of Nursing and University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. By combining academics and clinical care, I am able to conduct research and educate other healthcare professionals on the value of skin health and wound prevention and management. Related to my interest in skin health, I am the current president of the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP). ISTAP was formed to raise the international awareness of the prediction, assessment, prevention and management of skin tears. ISTAP has partnered with the CAET and is hopeful that we will be able to partner with other global organizations. Many of our ISTAP members are also WCET members. CAET is committed to educating ET nurses in Canada and around the globe. In the past CAET has partnered with various countries to have their nurses complete the CAET ETN education program. As the WCET International Delegate, I strongly support the need for Canada to work with global partners to raise awareness of wound, ostomy and continence issues and to promote education to all nurses. I am honored to represent Canada as the WCET ID and look forward to meeting and working with my ETN colleagues from around the world. Greetings from Canada. WCET Costa Rica ID Andrés Campos Vargas, RN, ET I am a RN since 2002 (Universidad de Costa Rica) and an ET Nurse since 2011(ET certification from Spain). In 2010, I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. I was 29 years old. I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and some surgeries. After two years of treatment, I had lung metastasis and I had to have all these treatments again. In 2011, I had my first stoma (ileostomy). It was a difficult experience, really nice to read in the books as a nurse but when you have a stoma in your body all its different and difficult. My experience in surgery was nice but the stoma management was really difficult. In the hospital nobody told me about the management, what to do or what to expect I did read about the stoma but now the stoma become real! I had my first appointment with my ET Nurse and it was not nice at all. It did not help me much, so I decide to be a ET nurse to learn and teach the best I can. In 2011, with my first ostomy, I learned and read a lot. I began my private BullETin January

9 practice in hospitals and homecare and in 2012, I had lung metastasis but I start with online courses of ostomies. I learned a lot!! After 3 years working with ostomies in Costa Rica, I received a call from Mexico: an ostomy company liked my work and they told me if I will like to be part of their team as an international consultant in ostomy for Latin America. From 2014 to 2017 I have traveled to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, talking about ostomies, helping nurses and doctors to understand about ostomies, ostomies supplies, management as education. I also participate as an international speaker in symposiums, congresses and international conferences. Right now, I am an opinion leader in Costa Rica and Latin America. I am working in Costa Rica with people who have ostomies and I am the Vice President of the ostomy association of Costa Rica. (It was a dream for me to be a founder of the association and with hard work it came true). I help ostomates, talk with their families, with the companies and now I will like to have an educational ostomy program. I have also participated in different ostomy courses as a student and professor, as in television, newspapers, magazines, universities, talking about ostomies. We have a new ostomy campaign in Costa Rica that I will share with you soon. Since 2014, I have a right and terminal colostomy. I am happy and thanks God, my family and friends who help me in all this process. I have too much to do and I would like to become the ostomy reference person in Cost Rica. If we have a high level of ostomy education will be amazing for all the ostomates including me: we need to keep improving!!

10 WCET Croatia ID Marija Hegeduš Matetić, Bacc. med. techm., ET. My story starts in 1975 when I first met a patient who has stoma. At that time there was no quality stoma therapists like today, and myself as a young nurse wanted to bring them back to life and return to their family. Today I can say that I have succeeded, with love and empathy towards the people living with a stoma of all ages and together with technological advancement in the quality and choice of stoma medical devices. One of the many messages which present, my reward and incentive is: May God bless you and bring you abundance of peace, love and blessings and to give you that inexhaustible power for all you have done and what you do! Thank you for everything. Education of patients with children living with a Stoma Croatia is still in the development of Stoma Therapists although our nurses provide excellent medical care to people with stoma, incontinence and chronic wounds. My certificate as stoma therapist, after completing the education is only a written confirmation of what I have been actively doing for the last 15 years. My job is to care for patients who have a stoma and for many years I ve been trying to do all they can to improve their quality of life through counseling centers, help in choosing medical device, family education and education of other medical staff who care about the quality of life of a person with stoma, especially when complications occur. Patients must undergo all the existing phases of accepting the disease itself and accept life with stoma and proper medical devices, so that they can continue to live normally. That is also my key role - to help them pass this time without medical complications and reach a high quality of life. To help the patients, actively participate with them in the annual marking of the World Day. BullETin January

11 I am organizing workshops and I am very happy about it. World Ostomy Awareness Day Zagreb, Croatia In the professional part, I organize training for medical staff to bring them closer to all stoma problems and show that there are solutions to many difficulties. I hold lectures at congresses and professional symposiums, where we discuss the possibilities of treatment of complex patients. I am working on postoperative care research to prevent further complications from occurring immediately after surgery ( Moldable project). I am extremely proud of working with the youngest ostomy patients, babies in children s clinics, or children on oncology units. Their smile without pain and the possibility of returning to normal life are my biggest incentive. Therefore, I also educate nurses on children s intimate clothing and surgery intensively and actively participate in the us-specific International Symposium on congenital malformations that children end up with their stoma. My training for medical nurses The patients smile and their confidence to help them is the biggest reward and motivation for me and why I will continue to deal with this challenging problem - normal life with my stoma.

12 On started, at the Faculty of Health Sciences University of Rijeka, the framework of Lifelong Learning for Nursing Competences in the field of Enterostomal Therapy with 16 participants. WCET Denmark ID Jette Kundal, RN, ET I am honored to be the International Delegate from Denmark. I have been working with stoma care patients for more than two decades. I have completed the Australian Enterostomal Therapist Course as a long distance student. I think it is valuable, that Enterostomal Therapists are trained in stoma care, have an association that works to enhance the professional quality in Stoma care and the opportunity to be inspired by each other. WCET France ID Martine Pages, RN, ET, Stoma teacher I am a nurse and my stoma story started in may 2004, with my certification. I pursued my study in 2008 with a University Degree in wounds care. I am an AFET s member (Comity board member), the Association of ET Nurses in France. I work as a Stoma care Nurse at the CHRU Caremeau in Nîmes, which is located in south of France. I also work with 3 colleagues and all 3 we manage the Nîmes ETNEP training (since 1984) which has been recognized by WCET in Our role and teaching include dealing with stoma, wound, incontinence and defecatory disorders in patients. In France, we have 4 schools of Stomatherapy (in additional with ours, there is one in Bordeaux, Paris and Lyon). Each year we train around 45 ET Nurses. We are sharing our experiences with the others ET Nurses and develop our knowledge and attitude in our country with 2 Congresses per year (one in May and one in October). I am proud of being a Stoma care Nurse and I really think that our work makes the difference for a lot of patients. CHRU Caremeau, Nîmes BullETin January

13 WCET Malaysia ID Mohd Rahime Bin Ab Wahab, RN, ET, WCET Publications & Communication Committee member I was born on 14th December 1986 in Johor Bahru, one of the state in the south part of Malaysia. My interest in nursing already within me, since I was in primary school where most of the time I was accompanying my grandfather who is an ex-hospital Medical Assistant to assist and help our neighbors as a volunteer especially those who are in need e.g. doing simple dressing for wounds. I then joined the St John Ambulance association since secondary school and was very active as a member and have achieved the Non-Commissioner Officer (NCO) title and participated in the training of some students in a basic first aid course. After completing secondary school and while waiting for University application result, I took care of my late Grandfather at home for two (2) months till he passed away in December, After then, my family members encouraged me to take up nursing since they have observed my interest in taking care of other family members who were sick. Then, I decided to enroll in nursing training at the College of Nursing, University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. After completion of my training in 2008, I was offered a post as a Registered Nurse in the University Malaya Medical Centre. This became the beginning of my nursing career. Each day was a different story, as different patients come and go. This is what makes the nursing career very interesting to me, as it provides an opportunity to meet people from all walk of life, different types of diseases and from different levels of society. From there, I also discovered that nursing is just not providing care to the patients, but most importantly with the knowledge that I have I am able to provide health education to the patients and actively participate in prevention aspect including rehabilitation. In 2011, I was introduced to Madam Mariam Mohd Nasir who just returned back from her 3 years unpaid leave to accompany her husband together with her children where she was residing in Montreal, Canada. The motivation that Madam Mariam showed has inspired me in building up myself professionally and I began to network with international nurses and started involving in activities related to wound, ostomy and continence care program. I am very grateful because my job as a nurse has created a pathway for me to excel further and there are many opportunities for me to upgrade my knowledge and skills. I have not forgotten the superiors which have supported me tremendously. Since then I started to venture into a few specialised programs and working in various field of nursing including being a volunteer which involved nursing association and patients care. After few years, I then was elected to the Executive Board of Malaysian Ostomy Association (MOsA), a support group for ostomates. I was involved from the beginning of its establishment and registered legally under Malaysian Registra of Society. In 2013, I joined WCET as a member for the first time. I attended WCET 2014 Biennial Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2015, I have seen the beginning of my career as an Enterostomal Therapist after graduating from Malaysian ETNEP. It is a dream come true for me after multiple applications to join the program. I believe that I need to update my knowledge together with development of ETN, because of that I actively participated and attended many conferences, seminars and workshops locally and internationally to gain more knowledge. I also have presented a few oral papers, case studies and share some updates and experiences which often relate to career development in ET nursing. I believe a nursing career calls for high levels of commitment, a good understanding of the job and the willingness to continue learning. By the end of 2015, I joined the UMMC ET Team as the Co-Director of ETN program and I am actively involved in short clinical attachment on stoma care for two weeks. Later in 2016, involved in clinical attachment on wound care for two weeks and continue organizing it on demand and also planning for the 12 weeks Malaysian ETNEP in future. BullETin January

14 I strongly believe that knowledge and skills will provide nurses with the confidence and know-how to offer the appropriate care in line with the fast-evolving world of medical technology. I m currently holding a Certificate of WOCN(ET), Certificate in Intravenous Therapy Nursing (IVN), Certificate in Infection Control (ICN) from Asian Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC) and Basic Nursing Science from University Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia. This allowed me to work in various clinical place such as Medical-surgical In-patient ward, Infection control department, Wound Ostomy & Continence Care Clinic and currently in Nursing Development Unit, Department of Nursing to organize more activities including clinical case studies and ETN related courses. I have been invited to be a speaker / trainer for a few WOC related conferences, seminars and workshop including Indonesian ETNEP and some Asian Conferences such as Joint Effort Indonesian Malaysian (JEIM) WOC Nursing Conference and Asian Pacific Enterostomal Therapy Nursing Association (APETNA) Conference. I was very grateful for what I have achieved up to date and I am looking forward for doing more. I also realized that to be an ET, it has to come with a package of commitment, hard work, and accountability. It has given me the feeling of empowerment and opportunity to improve my clinical decision and judgement in managing my patients. Today, I will mark more than 10 years working in the healthcare industry specifically in Nursing. I hope for more great years ahead and looking forward to contribute more as the International delegate for all Malaysian ET and also to collaborate together with WCET. The latest achievement is being part of the scientific committee for 2017 Asian Pacific Enterostomal Therapy Nursing Association (APETNA) Congress in Bogor, Indonesia and local organizing committee for the Biennial Congress WCET 2018 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In my future vision to expand the ET services in Malaysia, I am committed to collaborate continuously on WOC attachment program, ETNEP program including seminars, workshop and congress to develop ET services, especially in Malaysia and together preparing our Nurses to be more specialized in WOC. There are currently 271 ET s graduated since 10th batch of Malaysian ETNEP & 2 batch of MYWOCEP from Malaysia and other Asian countries who sent their students to join our program. I have also started my 2 years advanced study at University of Greenwich, UK majoring in Professional Practice to achieve my professional goals. Recently I was voted by Malaysian WCET members to represent Malaysia as International Delegate and with the support from Malaysian ET, especially Madam Mariam and WCET Executive Board, I hope Malaysian ET will be more active and participate in the development of ET s in the world.

19 WCET Namibia ID Laura Louise Obbes, RN, ET After specializing in Critical Care and working in this field for 15 years, I thought I would never be passionate about any other field of nursing. After becoming an Ostomate in 2012, I soon got roped into sharing my experiences and counseling patients preoperatively and my love and passion for stoma nursing began. After furthering my education in this specialty in 2016, I became the first Registered Nurse in Namibia to have undergone any formal Stoma Care Nurse training. I started my own Stomaltherapy Private Practice which services the Private hospitals and the community at large. I regularly provide in-service training to the various hospitals and the Bachelor Degree Nursing students. My hope is to motivate more nurses to specialize in Stomaltherapy to improve the services offered and ultimately reach more of the Namibian population. Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world and has a population of 2.53 million, many of whom do not have access to specialized healthcare. In light of this, I am currently planning an outreach program to provide accessible supplies, education and awareness to the outlying areas of Namibia. I am also in the process of developing a Stoma Association of Namibia, a support group and a charity organization to raise funds and supply stoma products to those less fortunate. My biggest challenge is to address the issue of pre-operative siting and counselling. A large number of my patients develop complications as a result of not being referred for siting pre-operately. In addition, the government sector has a very limited range of stoma products which do not address these complications. My aim is to make all stoma products and accessories available to each and every Namibian Ostomate. I was fortunate to be able to attend WCET in 2016 and I am looking forward to meeting familiar and new faces in KL in 2018! WCET Nepal ID Shanti Bajrachary, RN, ET I am the first ET nurse to start the stoma care from two of the busy hospitals, Patan Hospital and Baidya and Banskota (B&B) Hospital in Nepal. I have been involved in the Nepal Ostomy Association (NOA) since the beginning of its establishment in NOA, the only organization dedicated to serving the ostomates in Nepal through its regular clinics twice a month. My role as an ET nurse in this NOA is to offer the service of wound checking, fistula management, counseling and dispensing ostomy bags to the ostomates. Besides patient care, I take classes for nursing students in campuses and offer orientation on stoma care. Ostomy service has been a subject of research for interested students. I am also involved in the research activities of ostomy service here in Nepal. There are around ostomates who are and have been under my care. Out of these, Colon and Bladder Cancer constitute 80%. The rest (20%) constitute intestinal obstruction due to TB (tuberculosis), volvulus, typhoid perforation, stab injuries, RTA (anal sphincter injuries), paraplegia (wheel chair patient because of incontinence), VVF (vesico-vaginal fistula), RVF (Recto vaginal fistula), congenital diseases (ectopic bladder), children with Hirschsprung diseases and imperfect anus.

20 WCET New Zealand ID Francesca Martin, RN, STN I live in Auckland, New Zealand s largest city, and work for the Auckland District Health Board. My role is Stomal Therapy Nurse (as in Australia, we also use this terminology instead of ET) and I work with community patients and at Auckland City Hospital and Starship Children s Hospital. I work full time alongside another STN and we are both kept busy. The STN role in the hospital involves teaching new patients and their relatives stoma cares and we manage stoma complications. In the community we follow up patients to ensure they are confident with stoma cares, have the right appliance for their stoma, skin and lifestyle and organise ongoing supplies. Ostomy patients remain with our service while they have a stoma. For some people this is just a few weeks, for others it is a lifetime so they are able to contact us about ostomy related problems and have regular reviews. STNs throughout New Zealand normally work for a District Health Board; some may work specifically in the community or in the local hospital or may do a mixture of both. While most STNs do Ostomy and some Wound management some also do Continence nursing. Our professional body is the College of Stomal Therapy Nursing which currently has 214 financial members. The membership comprises STNs and other nurses who work with Ostomy patients in hospitals and the community. We have a conference every two years with the next conference due in October I am looking forward to the WCET Conference in Kuala Lumpur and hope to meet with many others from around the world and share some wonderful experiences. WCET Philippines ID Rhyan A. Hitalla, RN, ET, Specialized Trainer (ICW/EWMA) I am Clinic Nurse Director in Stoma & Complex Wound Care Clinic. I have been working at The Medical City Hospital for 15 years and have been involved in ostomy and wound care for 10 years, I had my formal training to be an Enterostomal Therapist in Penang Malaysia last 2010 under the mentorship of Ms. Tan Tan Peng & Tai Seow Beng, after which when I got back in the Philippines opened and pioneered a ostomy and wound center in our institution together with Dr. Manuel Franciso Roxas (Colorectal Surgeon) and Dr. Marco Fulvio Abad (Vascular Surgeon). I have also underwent other post graduate and training programs for ostomy and wound care in other countries and a diploma in leadership and management at the Ateneo de Manila University school of Business Management. I also pioneered the continuity of care programs in the Philippines for ostomy and wound care, and contiously conducting education and training programs nationally for ostomy and wound care. I am also a member and founder of different association in the Philippines and also have affiliations abroad. As the new ID for the Philippines I would like to focus on the following goals that needs to be achieved; 1. To increase the WCET membership in the Philippines 2. To increase the awareness of the Philippine Nurses about WCET and its programs, mission & vision. BullETin January

21 3. To have training and seminars recognized by WCET. 4. To increase the number of Nurses to have formal training under the WCET ETNEP program. 5. Collaboration to other WCET members locally and abroad for the benefit of the nursing profession and also for the patients. WCET Saudi Arabia ID Hajer Alsabaa, RN, ET I am a graduate of the Saudi Enterostomal Therapy Diploma Education Program (ETNEP), and I also have a Masters in Advanced Nursing Practice-CNS from Lehman College, New York. I presently work as an Advanced Clinical Specialist and as Team Leader, within the Colorectal Therapy Program at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which is a 900 bed tertiary referral center. My scope of practice covers both adults and pediatrics in inpatients and outpatients in an acute care setting. My day to day clinical practice covers the care of individuals with stomas and complex Enterocutaneous Fistulae, consultation on colorectal wounds, and Nurse-Led clinics for patients with defecatory disorders including fecal incontinence and obstructive defecation. WCET South Africa ID Monica Franck, RN, ET After qualifying as a Registered nurse in Johannesburg, I headed to Red Cross Children s hospital in Cape Town in 1981 where I completed my Diploma in Paediatric Nursing. I worked in the ICU and the surgical department where I developed a great interest in children born with Ano-rectal Anomalies. These children embedded my interest in Stomaltherapy. I did my Stomaltherapy course at Groote Schuur Hospital under the leadership of Prilli Stevens and went back to Red Cross Hospital where I worked until 2002 as a paediatric Stomaltherapist. In 2002, I joined Coloplast as an ET nurse in the private sector. I cover ten hospitals where I do stoma-counselling and consultations as well as Continence care. I lecture to student nurses and caregivers in private as well as state hospitals. Through all the years I was very involved in the South African Stomaltherapy Association. I have attended numerous WCET congresses and was very involved in the 2016 congress that was held in South Africa. I am also the proud mother of two adult children and a 1year old grandchild. Greetings. BullETin January

22 WCET Switzerland ID Claire Genoud, RN, ET Dear Colleagues of all over the World. I was born in Switzerland. I have been working as a RGN for 33 years either in large hospitals or small private clinics. Shortly after my diploma, I spent 5 years in Zurich (German speaking part of the country). Then I started a family of 2 children. I followed a one year training course in Oncology care in Geneva and a two years course in Systemic approach in Lausanne. My story in Stoma nursing began 17 years ago when Judith Weller (who founded our unit and who was active in the WCET /NNGF for many years) choose me to enlarge their team. I went in 2000 to Lyon (France) to accomplish my ET training as there was no other possibility in the country itself. And then, 2005, I obtained a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Woundcare at Geneva. My team is part of the Lausanne (Vaud county University Hospital Center), by the lake of Geneva (also call Leman lake). We are 4 colleagues, which percentage represents 2,6 persons at full time. We all come from different countries: France, Quebec and Brazil. In the office that we share with our Woundcare team colleagues. From left to right: Andreia Bessane, Clothilde Scascighini, Lucie Charbonneau, Nathalie Mangin (Vice-President of the Swiss Association of Stoma Nurses), myself and Florence Carrea At the hospital, we care for in and out patients. We also go out in the community and rehabilitation/ retirement homes of the town and its suburbs. It is a great chance to do so as these different contexts enrich one another and enable a complete follow up of the stoma patients. The inpatient group involves stomas and fistulas/ drainage care. Regarding continence needs, our offer is useful but basic. There are other teams responsible for in and out patients providing wounds and continence/ urology care. We have our «ASS-SVS» Swiss Association of Stoma nurses, in which I have been active for some years. But now I am looking forward to be more involved in the WCET to discover other problems from another part of the World. Let us meet next April in KL! BullETin January

23 Some update news about the review of the WCET International Ostomy Guideline (IOG) Laurent Chabal, WCET Publications & Communications Chairperson As it was decided in our last face-to-face Executive Board meeting in April 2017, Karen Zulkowski as Editor in Chief, Elizabeth A. Ayello and myself, as associated Editors, met face-to-face this last September 23 to 26, in order to start the process of this important review. The first step was to discuss the Level of Evidence we will work on (same as the last issue, 2014) and to review the recommendations we had in the previous issue of the document. Then we have gathered more than 100 relevant manuscripts that have been published since then (May 2013) and have classified them by items related to the 4 top recommendations we had (preoperative care needs, postoperative care needs, client/family psychological needs and cultural/religious implications of an ostomy). Each of us has taken one or two of each of these piles of manuscripts to review each one of them, classified them by level of evidence and began to complete the new evidence table that we will be using to rewrite the IOG document. We had 4 days of intensive work and will continue in the next months to achieve this task on time, which is planned to be ready for our 2020 WCET Conference. One of the tables we used to sort the manuscripts by items (sticky color papers were used to identify each 4 top items, and one manuscript could be appropriate for more than one of them) BullETin January

We are glad to have the opportunity to learn how to do literature reviews, and how to do presentations, to increase our self-confidence in preparation for our very own final seminar, and our group projects! Another group project is organizing and coordinating an ostomates gathering, so that we learn how to conduct one at our own hospital when we go back after the course. In this event, the local Sarawak students contacted the ostomates and their family; and arranged for the meals. The rest of us have different roles to play, such as; building rapport, playing games, but facilitating their sharing session was the most impressive and memorable experience. One of the ostomates, Mr X showed us how to make an innovative ostomy belt. He shared his experience about overcoming his challenges in a positive way. He was also a very sporting, cheerful and motivating man. Another sharing session was the wishing tree game, as we students, also wish that we would all pass the final assessment, amidst the fun. Times flies, and it was the time for us to have completed our case study during our clinical posting where we were assigned to see at least six cases per day, and to get ready for written examination, Objective Structure Clinical Exams (OSCE) and a 200 plus audience seminar. There were product exhibitors as well as, press coverage to increase public awareness about stoma patients and Stomaltherapy as a specialized nursing profession! MyWOCEP is a great program. We, nurses from government and private hospitals are given the opportunity to attend MyWOCEP. We are happy to have the opportunity to know each other from Sabah, Sarawak, Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam and Philippines.

Cancer Institute, Sri Lanka With the support of a WCET Congress Travel Scholarship, I was able to attend the last WCET Congress in Cape Town, South Africa ET Nursing is always a challenge. In my hospital, I worked in a surgical unit. There were a lot of persons with wounds and stomas. Patients were in unbearable pain. At that time, I had to say that I used to wait until the Doctor came. Looking for new things to learn, I was finding ways to get more independent in my daily job. This situation inspired me to become an ET nurse. Then I searched everywhere regarding ET nursing and finally I found WCET website. There I learned about the Norma N. Gill scholarship and I applied for it. They granted me a scholarship to participate in the 2015 Malaysian ETNEP. I went to Malaysia and there I learned a lot of new things. I got an enormous experience pertaining to wounds and stomas. Earlier, I had little difficulties to adapt to Malaysia. But the ET team in University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) supported me and helped me to overcome my barriers. Finally, I graduated as a ET Nurse and returned to my home country. BullETin January

38 Me participating in the Malaysian ETNEP 2015 There I faced a lot of difficulties as nobody knows my ET career properly. Then I gave a few lectures to the nurses and nursing managers to educate them and raise their awareness. After that a few nursing managers trust me and invited me to do wound care in their ward settings. My first successful milestone was to prevent a patient with leg ulcer from having an amputation. I tried hard and applied dressings frequently and a few debridements were done. This was a stepping stone in my career. Now, I have just launched a 5 day wound care training program for nurses in the General Hospital in Kandy ( Recently I have delivered a lecture for Bachelor students at the University Sri-Lanka. Here most of the time, I give a lecture regarding colostomy care and counseling. I hope, as WCET International Ostomy Guideline pointed out, every ostomate will receive appropriate preoperative and postoperative counseling. Therefore, every ET Nurse should teach their students how to counsel their ostomy patients and tell them that it must be initiated in their preliminary period. Finally, I have to say I will never give up on my career and hope to develop and establish a wound care clinic in my hospital. As I am short on budget, I am looking for any foundation or company to provide me financial assistance. It would be great if you can help on this: please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

40 A very special historical day for Sri Lankan ET professionals and the Ostomates Udena Athula Kumara, WCET Sri Lanka ID We had a very special historical day for Sri Lankan ET professionals and the ostomates as well. Our three main reasons are: 1. Awarding Diploma Certificates for ET nurses by the Ministry of Health for the first time 2. Launching of the stoma care & breast cancer care apps 3. World Ostomy Awareness Day celebration. Sri Lankan ostomates have celebrated the World Ostomy Awareness Day (WOAD) at The College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka, all day on 7th October With the theme of Navigate the Journey together, the ostomy day was organized and celebrated by the Ostomy Association, Ministry of Health, College of Surgeons and Enterostomal Therapy Nurses Association in Sri Lanka. There were colorful events, educational discussions, sharing experiences of people with an ostomy & nurses, and music entertainments. Participants are mainly people with an ostomy, nursing officers, consultant surgeons and medical & other professionals. Apart from the Ostomy day, forty registered ET nurses have been registered as ET diploma holders. They have completed six months full time post basic diploma course as Enterostomal Therapy trainees. The course was conducted by the Education, Training & Research unit of the Ministry of Health in collaboration with College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka and Enterostomal Therapy Nurses Association. This was a result of an utmost long journey and endless effort of ET Nurses association in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan largest National Telecommunications partner, Sri Lanka Telecom Moabite (Pvt) Ltd, launched two interactive mobile Apps for stoma care & breast cancer care free of charge. This is a very useful app for the all nurses and clients as well, on line services to find the nearest consultants, ET nurses, care centers, products and directions, etc. We are proud to be WCET Nurses and thank you all for giving the foundation to us. World Ostomy Awareness Day celebrated by Ostomates and ET Nurses This WOAD was an opportunity to launch the new apps BullETin January
