Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Group (PENG), a specialist group of the British Dietetic Association (BDA). PENG started in 1982 as a group of 67 dietitians and company representatives interested in nutrition support. In 1984 it was formally recognised as a BDA specialist group. The primary aim of PENG is to support dietitians working in oral, enteral and parenteral nutrition to have access to best/evidenced-based practice and to support advancing practice. PENG is recognised nationally and internationally as a professional voice for the dietetic profession working in nutrition support both for and on behalf of the BDA. PENG is also a founding member of the British association of Enteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN). PENG is formed of a committee of experienced volunteers but relies heavily on the valuable input and contributions from all its members.
