Nasogastric tube feeding: Have your say Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, South Eastern Sydney Local Health District and Central and Eastern Sydney PHN are currently looking at how we work together to care for children with complex and chronic conditions. The project is initially focusing on implementing a model of care to support children needing replacement of nutrition support devices. To do this, we’re asking GPs to complete the eleven question multiple choice survey below, which will help us collect information about their experience of working with children with nasogastric feeding tubes, and to explore the challenges that exist in managing nasogastric feeding in the community. We hope that this will benefit you and your patient base in the near future. Complete the survey at https://www.research.net/r/NGTFeedingSurvey Sutherland Shire – Abuse of Older People in Community Care Collaborative Glen Sorenson, with the support of NSW Elder Abuse Helpline and Resource Unit (EAHRU) will lead the panel through real-life scenarios to identify and respond to the abuse of older people.
