Good morning everyone

We have been asked by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) to share an opportunity for people with lived experiences of stomas to take part in their committee assessment on colostomy bags for people with a stoma. NICE want to know from people who have stomas the important issues they need to consider during the assessment.

There are more details on their website here: nice.org.uk/guidance/indeve...

At the bottom of the page are the contact details for the Public Involvement Adviser at NICE who can answer any queries you have about the role and what is involved.

The deadline to register your interest is 25 March.

Many thanks and best wishes
