Abstract
Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) is an established treatment used for the management of patients with Intestinal Failure. All patients receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition under the care of the Intestinal Failure Service in Northern Ireland were surveyed using an assessment of quality of life, aimed at providing insight into presenting issues. The main reason for carrying out this study in a Northern Ireland population was to determine if further improvements in our service provision and patient pathway could increase a patient’s quality of life whilst receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition.1 We utilised a Home Parenteral Nutrition-Quality Of Life (HPN-QOL) questionnaire by kind permission, which was the first quality of life assessment tool developed and validated for this specific patient group.
