Abstract

The number of patients receiving Home Enteral Tube Feeding (HETF) has increased over a number of years. Some patients may have a short term nasogastric/nasojejunal tube placed to help them achieve their nutritional requirements in the short term. Other patients may need to be fed via a gastrostomy tube, either fully or in combination with oral diet long-term. It is important that all patients on HETF receive regular and continuous support. In light of this, Trafford NHS Trust has established a multi-professional nutrition support clinic.
