JSTA December 2010 - Australian Association of Stomal Therapy ...

first programme there are four ETNs in Shiraz, one in Esfahan,
one in Yars and seven more ETNs in Tehran. These nurses will
never be short of work, their skills and knowledge are needed
and appreciated by the many people with stomas that have
never had a stoma nurse assist them with their life-altering
surgery.
The work of Marshid Suriady in organising this programme
and the dedication of the students who enthusiastically took
every opportunity to learn made this ETNEP possible. The
opportunity for Keryln, Elizabeth and myself to be involved
resulted in a truly memorable experience for all of us.
