Stoma, wound and continence care practices are constantly evolving. Hence the WCET(R) strives to provide the very latest information to its members. The World Council of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) was inaugurated three decades ago in response to advances in nursing, medicine and surgery. This ultimately led to the creation of a new nursing specialty called Enterostomal Therapy Nursing (ETN). This specialty has evolved over the past 30+ years to become a major component in the management of ostomy, wound and continence care.
