Abstract

Studies in the UK in recent years have demonstrated that targeted dietetic time can improve oral nutritional supplement wastage and costs to community NHS services1. It is usual that these projects exclude home enteral nutrition (HEN) prescriptions from audit, yet these also present potential for wasted product. As well as feed waste being a significant cost2, if entire volumes of containers are not used this could present complications in terms of ease of use, storage and safety (notably if changing feed bags to complete regimens).
