PEG feed training is aimed at healthcare professionals and social care workers that are responsible for supporting individuals with their Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy. These courses will usually cover procedures for feeding, administration of medicines and understand the PEG tube.
PEG feed training courses are most suitable delivered face to face because of the practical elements. Staff should feel confidence in using the PEG feeding equipment that they are likely to encounter within their job role. These courses are also suitable for dieticians that work with patients and carers, the association of UK Dietitians has provided a policy statement on the use of liquidised food with enteral feeding tubes.
