Topics for discussion at the National Conference

Post by Jimbob »

At the national Conference we always have an Irrigation Workshop and this time will be no different.

We always get old-time Irrigators and Newbies and those that just want to learn about it in attendance. Also we always have a WOCN in attendance to get into the Medical Aspects of the Process.

First if you are attending the conference make sure you attend the Workshop.

Also if there are any specifics that you think need to be covered or presented please let me know for inclusion.

Hi Jimbob
I wish that I was able to attend this. As a newbie gator, I think it would be so helpful. For those of us who aren't able to attend would you be able to post the highlights from the workshop for us? Have fun!

Thanks,
Lisa

Personally, because of recent changes for me, a discussion about irrigating with changing hernias. We also get a lot of folks that have trouble getting water infused for other various reasons. That would be interesting to/for me.....

I'm glad I attended this session at the last conference. Since then, my output life has been much more stable and reliable. Couldn't imagine not irrigating now.
Only took Jimbob two years to convince me ;)
