Fleur offers a practical and down‑to‑earth look at enteral feeding, taking delegates through the stepwise pathway from oral nutrition support to NG, NJ, PEG, PEG‑J and jejunostomy feeding. Using NICE guidance and real clinical examples, she explores how to balance clinical need with expected benefit, treatment burden and what matters most to patients. The session also touches on off‑licence tube use and the importance of proportionate, patient‑centred decision‑making. Delegates will leave with clear frameworks to support MDT discussions and approach complex feeding decisions with confidence.

In September 2024 a national Radiographer-led pathway was launched with the aim of reducing the number of NG tube related Never Events. At last years NNNG conference we outlined the details of this pathway and had good engagement from a number of Trusts and Health Boards. Today we will provide an update on progress and key learning points from the pilot phase.

NNNG AGM: 13:05 - 13:35

Sounds simple but as we know a lot can change but all helps to inform on a positive discharge - and sometimes not and that is ok. There is also no time scale but being fully aware of the pressures of ward environments bed capacity and pressures for all sources - to try to navigate this while having an very unwell patient who tells you they are 'fine'.
