Confidence and competence in nasogastric tube placement are essential for ensuring safe and effective enteral nutrition delivery. This practical training resource provides healthcare professionals with step-by-step guidance on nasogastric tube insertion, placement verification, feeding administration, troubleshooting, and daily tube care. The session also highlights the clinical benefits of enteral nutrition compared with parenteral nutrition, including reduced infection risk, earlier recovery, improved gastrointestinal function, and potentially shorter hospital stays. In addition to technical guidance, the training explores common barriers to enteral nutrition implementation, including lack of staff experience, delayed nutritional intervention, and organizational challenges within hospital care pathways.

Nurse administering enteral feeding to a patient in hospital
Long-term enteral feeding can be life-saving, but it may also bring emotional, social, and practical challenges for patients and caregivers. This patient interview explores the lived experience of enteral nutrition following treatment for head and neck cancer, including severe dysphagia, weight loss, fear of dependency, and adapting to life with a feeding tube. The discussion highlights how enteral nutrition supported recovery, enabled discharge home, and ultimately helped restore independence and participation in daily life. Importantly, the interview also emphasises the need for better patient education, psychological support, and improved communication about nutrition throughout the treatment journey.
Tube feeding can have a profound impact not only on physical health, but also on emotional wellbeing, social participation, and long-term quality of life. In this awareness-focused patient conversation, a long-term tube-fed patient shares his experience living with Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, severe malnutrition, and long-term enteral feeding. The discussion highlights the emotional challenges patients may face, including fear, isolation, stigma, and uncertainty, while also demonstrating how timely nutritional intervention and appropriate support can significantly improve recovery, confidence, and independence. The conversation further reinforces the importance of listening to patients, providing accessible information, and encouraging earlier nutritional support when needed.

Understanding and identifying when growth is faltering as well as its optimal management is crucial for preventing short-term and longer-term adverse consequences for patients. Professor Atul Singhal, Profession Koen Joosten, Professor Koen Huysentruyt and Dr Rosan Meyer have developed a CME accredited e-learning course designed to provide healthcare providers with an overview of faltering growth in infants and children under 2 years of age. The practical tool covers the presentation, identification and management of faltering growth in infants and children under 2 years of age and on completion of the training HCPs will be able to: define faltering, catch-up, accelerated and normal growth. explain the consequences of faltering growth on patients and their communities identify faltering growth, accelerated growth, and catch-up growth from example growth charts explain the recommendations for management of faltering growth This expert e-learning tool is offered by Karger Publishers and has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (UEMS-EACCME®) with 1 European CME credit (ECMEC®).
