Expert care and nursing teams
We prioritise meeting our clients’ clinical needs while minimising any disruptions caused by stoma support.
We focus on preventing infections, blockages, and skin issues, enabling clients to maintain maximum independence and quality of life at home.
In addition to stoma and client-specific training, the client’s personalised care plan ensures that care and nursing teams – who are supervised and supported by a Nurse Manager – have a thorough understanding of the client’s condition, needs, preferences, and wishes.

For us, it's personal
Superior Healthcare was founded in 2006, following our CEO’s own experience of locating a care package to support his brother, Alex, who sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11.
Having experienced first-hand the importance of high-quality, compassionate, and consistent complex care, we are driven to ensure that everyone – including people who require stoma care – can live a fulfilled life, with fun, dignity, independence, and choice.

What is a stoma?
The terms ‘stoma’ and ‘ostomy’ are often used interchangeably. A stoma is an opening on the surface of the abdomen which has been surgically created to divert the flow of faeces or urine. People who have had stoma surgery are sometimes known as ‘ostomates’.
It is estimated that one in 335 people in the UK are currently living with a stoma.
Individuals of all ages can have a stoma. Stoma surgery is undertaken to treat a range of conditions including cancer, diverticulitis, and Crohn’s disease, or following a trauma to the abdomen.
