The PNG SIG has recently developed two resources explaining the Nutrition Quality Standards for adults who are receiving oral, enteral or parenteral nutrition support, which can be accessed here. The resources highlight the importance of a comprehensive nutritional care assessment and the implementation of a holistic nutritional care plan which works for the individual who is in need of nutrition support.

Stories from people on home artificial nutrition
People who receive artificial nutrition, oral nutritional supplements, parenteral nutrition, or enteral nutrition have shared their stories to help raise awareness of the benefits, adjustments, and experiences associated with their medical nutrition. In doing so, they aim to help promote open conversations about home artificial nutrition as well as showing others who may be embarking on these treatments how they can adjust and adapt. Read their stories below.

As BAPEN’s Patient Network Group SIG, we want to raise the patient and carer voice and enable discussion about the impact of living with home artificial nutrition support. The aim is to help promote open conversations about home artificial nutrition as well as showing others who may be embarking on these treatments how they can adjust and adapt.
