Welcome to the Norfolk and Waveney Appliance Prescription Service (NWAPS). This is a new NHS service that is responsible for issuing prescriptions for stoma/catheter products for people living in the areas covered by the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board. Stoma/catheter products include all products, accessories and associated additional products (for example, barrier spray, and adhesive remover).
The Norfolk and Waveney Appliance Prescription Service has been set up to enhance the care that people using stoma/catheter products receive. Having your stoma/catheter prescriptions provided by a centralised service, run by a team of specialist nurses, means that you will be able to access the right clinical support when you need to. Your prescriptions will be authorised by our specialist nurses, who will be able to ensure that you are ordering and using the best products for your particular needs.
If you feel that you need the advice and support of a nurse at your local hospital, you will be still able to access your current stoma/urology nurse.
Our service is supported by our friendly team of experienced personal advisors who will contact you to order your prescriptions.
