All nurses are likely to care for many patients with diarrhoea. A new Nursing Times Learning unit has been launched to complement guidance from the Royal College of Nursing to assist them in approaching the difficult, sometimes embarrassing issues related to planning care for people with diarrhoea. This article summarises the resources and gives guidance on identifying types and causes of diarrhoea, and advice on management.
