Members were reminded about the Visitor Re-certification training, Nov. 24/07 and tickets for our Christmas Party on Dec. 2/07 were available from Helmut Friesen.
ET "On the Hot Seat" was Mary Robertson. She fielded a number of questions ranging from the availability of types of supplies to food blockages. She stated that ET’s have left a set of step by step instructions at hospital emergency departments to follow if a food blockage occurs. These instructions will also be made available to the rural hospitals. Following a coffee break, members were divided into the different ostomy groups including SASO where they discussed a variety of issues.
