3rd October 2009… hey, thats today! It’s World Ostomy Day 2009 and many national ostomy associations are doing public events to themed to celebrate the day. The theme of this years event is “Reaching Out” be it to the general public to enhance their awareness of the ostomy associations and their vital work, or to the Ostomates themselves who maybe didn’t realise such associations existed to help them.

Here in the UK, the Birmingham Bullring is hosting an awareness event, featuring stands from many companies and associations. And, thanks to Julie at Breakaway, Ostomyland leaflets will be circulating the stalls too!

Full details of WOD09 can be found on the IOA website.
