New IA Journal Omnibus
An updated IA Journal Omnibus was published in August 2006 to commemmorate our 50th Anniversary. You can order a copy via this website by clicking here.
Travel certificates
In view of current security restrictions being imposed on travellers, we think it advisable that members consider carrying a travel certificate with them at all times. These travel certificates are available from the ostomy equipment manufacturers, and a small supply is kept at IA national office for members (phone 0800-0184724). Travel certificates are also now available for patients with an internal pouch.
