Lpn nursing homecare need information regarding skin care
Hi Avon. Thank you for your comment. This webinar will give you lots of information regarding skin care of the area surrounding a stoma, but if you’re looking for other information on the topic of skin care, we recommend these articles: Skin Care and Your Feeding Tube, Incontinence and Skin Care and Male External Catheters and Skin Health.
Thanks
I would like to attend online, but if I am not able to get to the computer during those hours can I attend or hear later and possibly copy the litature?
thank you
Hi Susan. While our webinar is only available live on Tuesday 1/26 at 9AM, we will be recording the webinar, and that recording will be available to view at your convenience on the Wound Care Education Institute’s website within a few days after the webinar presentation.

Hi Aimee – would this be appropriate for a patient?
Hi Katie. Thanks for asking! While this webinar will be fairly clinical, we’ve discussed the content with Laura, our Ostomy Lifestyle Specialist, and she thinks that much of the information may be helpful to someone with an ostomy – it may help them better understand their peristomal skin and its needs and determine when a skin condition warrants heading to the doctor. We definitely welcome those with ostomies! Thank you. -Aimee, Shield HealthCare
Thank you!

Hi…I registered for the noon to 1pm webinar. Is there a link the director and I need to hit to view it?
Thanks, Sheila
Hi Sheila. Thanks for your question. Once you’ve registered, you should receive an email (please check your spam folder) that should have a link for you to join the register. Go ahead and click it now, the webinar is open for attendees and we’re just waiting to start at 9AM PT. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you. -Aimee, Shield HealthCare
I watched this webinar and while it was very informative- I was unable to view the slides she was referring to. Is there something in the settings area that would allow me to see both the speaker and the slides? I am asking for the purposes of watching future webinars or perhaps to watch this one again on the Sheild or Weci site. Thank you!
Hi Amber. Thanks for your question. To clarify – were you able to see Joy’s webcam and watch her present? If you were unable to see the slides, a few troubleshooting techniques I would recommend would be to try a different browser or hold Alt + Tab on a PC (or Command + Tab on a Mac) and select the GoToWebinar/GoToWebinar application to make sure that it is not minimized or covered by another window. Hopefully that will allow you to watch future webinars without any issues. This webinar was recorded and will be available via a link that we will be posting on this page by the end of the week, so be sure to bookmark this page. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you. -Aimee, Shield HealthCare
