It is estimated that 13,500 people have stoma surgery each year, which means around 1 in every 500 people have a stoma in the UK. 1 Due to this high number of people, nurses in different clinical settings will see patients with a stoma. Therefore it is vital to develop a basic understanding of stoma care. Angela was great – her delivery was tailored to the staff in the room (e.g. area of work, job role and discussed the products on our formulary). The content was appropriate and very useful and all staff commented on how it will benefit them in practice – they have a better awareness of which products to use when and were already discussing plans on how to relay this information to their colleagues. I feel patient care will definitely improve as a result of staff receiving this training. Since the introduction of the NSHI paper regarding pressure ulcers classification we have had a massive improvement in the identification of pressure v’s moisture damage and this has been supported by all the work implementing the MASD pathway into the trust and Barnsley Borough. Provides protection around the area where the dressing, pouch or adhesive device is to be applied by forming a transparent coating Skin that is not protected is at risk of damage and breakdown – incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD)

I found this was really helpful to read alongside Alex’s MASD session as it was super easy to follow and summarised the teaching session really well. Does not impede the adhesion of dressings, pouches or adhesive devices and prevents and reduces trauma and related pain (2) This year, MASD Awareness Day was held on 16th March. It is an opportunity to #thinkMASD and develop new strategies for recognising, preventing and treating the condition.

Medi Derma-S Barrier Cream provides gentle barrier protection on intact skin or for mild skin damage. The work and commitment from Kerry, this had directly contributed to the use of Medi Derma rage across Barnsley increasing formulary compliance and pathway adherence across all areas.

The S.M.A.R.T. tool is an excellent guide that compliments the MASD pathway in a concise but thorough leaflet. The SMART card allows staff to be proactive in commencing the right treatment for their patients in promoting skin integrity. As it is on a wipe able card, staff can easily refer to it in their clinical area, thus avoiding any delays in starting the appropriate skin care regime.”
Part of our Heroes Campaign. By Dr. Nitin Raje-Ghatge – MD, DMLS, DFMS (London). I have come across a vast number of people with Mental Health & Addiction problems and how it affects not just the patients but also the people they live with. The S.M.A.R.T. card is easy to use very clear and is a great reminder for which product to use and when." The winter season can be difficult for ostomates; it’s cold outside and seems like everything we do is a battle against the weather.

Clinical support workers gain knowledge of MASD pathway and when to ask for a review of the skin from a nurse – using the step-up, step-down approach. We will continue to repeat training to the nurses and carers to ensure everyone is aware of the pathway and how the barrier products work and which product to choose." The pathway is easy for all clinicians and cares to use when choosing which barrier product is required. The products are easy to apply and cost-effective.
I have worked closely with Alexandra Freitas to educate and promote the Medicareplus barrier range through education events at both an acute hospital trust and a hospice organisation. Long Lasting Protection – resilient, hydrophobic protective barrier from moisture associated skin damage In March 2023 we organised a link nurse study focused around the theme Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD). As part of this day Kerry (Medicareplus Rep) came to present sessions on MASD, Medical-Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI) and barrier products. Kerry tried to apply her presentations to our pediatric population, with case studies and imagery, which can be difficult. Kerry is an integrated part of our training and without Kerry’s support patients would not be cared for by competent care staff that have a awareness of what to look for, how to care for or how to prevent moisture damage, which in turn has improved patient outcomes and reduced district nursing visits." We have been supported with formulary launches/training/pathways/study days/bespoke training/telephone call consultations and much more.

I was able to watch the presentation on moisture damage a few weeks ago and found out about the S.M.A.R.T cards I have since received mine and have shared the information with the community continence team. This is an easy to use and store (in my work bag) so I can share information with patients (where suitable) and primary care givers to ensure the most suitable products are being used for patients with moisture damage to prevent severe skin damage. I have not had to use it in this way yet but it is helpful to have as easy access."
