When a client requires assistance with feeding as they are unable to take food orally, either an NGT (nasogastric tube) or PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy), feeding options may be required.
When managing clients requiring NGT, PEG, or other gastrostomy feeding solutions, the focus extends far beyond medical procedures.
Effective implementation is about embedding these clinical needs seamlessly into the client’s lifestyle while ensuring their dignity, independence, and well-being are prioritised.
We understand the importance of delivering tailored, high-quality care in partnership with commissioners, case managers, and families.
Comprehensive assessment and care planning
The cornerstone of successful NGT and PEG management is a thorough clinical and lifestyle assessment.
Our specialist nurses, with critical care backgrounds, work closely with commissioners and case managers to evaluate:
- Clinical needs
- Lifestyle preferences
- Support systems
This detailed assessment ensures a bespoke care package that meets both the medical and personal needs of the client.
Specialist training for caregivers
All care professionals involved in NGT, PEG, and gastrostomy management undergo client-specific training delivered by our experienced nurses. This hands-on training ensures:
- Safe and hygienic feeding techniques
- Understanding of troubleshooting and emergency procedures
- Confidence in monitoring for signs of complications such as blockages, infections, or dislodgement
Integration into daily life
We work closely with clients to ensure feeding routines are discreet, efficient, and minimally disruptive. For example:
- Planning feeding schedules around social activities or community engagement
- Advising on portable equipment for clients who enjoy travelling or outdoor pursuits
- Incorporating dietary preferences and nutritional goals into feeding plans
This approach ensures clients feel supported, respected, and empowered.
Proactive monitoring and early intervention
Close relationships between our care professionals and clients allow for early detection of any changes in condition.
Whether it’s signs of a feeding tube issue or shifts in a client’s nutritional needs, we act swiftly to prevent complications.
This proactive approach saves time, resources, and most importantly, promotes better health outcomes.
