Becoming a member
Register for the Stoma Appliance Scheme
Once you have had ostomy surgery, your Stomal Therapy Nurse will assist you to register as a participant in the Stoma Appliance Scheme (SAS), subject to you meeting the eligibility criteria. Your Stomal Therapy Nurse will ask you to complete Part 1 of a Stoma Appliance Scheme Application (PB049). Your Stomal Therapy Nurse will then complete part 2 to confirm your eligibility.
Apply for membership at a registered Stoma Association
To obtain products through the SAS, a SAS participant must be a member of an approved stoma association. Your Stomal Therapy Nurse will usually assist you with becoming a member of an association. Otherwise, download an application form or contact us to obtain a hard copy of our Application Form.
