Children at home on tube feeding - your views needed
Hello to all SNIP readers! My name is Laurie, and I am a dietitian based in Edinburgh working on a project with children at home on tube feeding. I have recently joined up with a group of doctors, nurses and dietitians to try and look at ways of improving the care and support we offer to patients and their families who deal with tube feeding daily.
We are looking for a parent or carer who would be willing to join our group to discuss any ideas or concerns you may have about care for children at home on tube feeding. Your input would be highly valued and would help us work towards creating an even better service for all of these children. If this is something you would like to be involved in, please drop me a line to laurie.eyles@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk or call me on 0131 537 6053.
Even if you don’t feel you could commit to being part of the group, I would still like to hear any ideas you may have for this project! I look forward to hearing from you.
