About the symposium:
From the first feed to specialised nutrition support, the way we care for children is evolving. Timed with World Breastfeeding Week, this symposium offers a deep dive into emerging evidence and fresh approaches to support families through the complex realities of early life nutrition. From allergy management and enteral feeding to neurodiversity and breastfeeding support, join us for practical strategies and expert insights from leading voices in this space.
Agenda (stay tuned, more details to come):
Managing GI symptoms with food-based enteral formulas
Emerging research highlights how food-based enteral formulas can support gastrointestinal tolerance in children (1-4). In this session, Dr Graeme O’Connor, a clinical academic in Paediatric Dietetics will discuss the current clinical evidence and explore how food-based enteral formulas are being used in real-world practice. He will also draw on the importance of fibre and prebiotics in supporting the gut microbiome, a key nutritional feature of many food-based enteral formulas.
Dr Graeme O’Connor is the research lead dietetics, and the clinical academic careers lead for Great Ormond Street Children’s hospital. Dr O’Connor’s post-doctoral research includes monitoring gut inflammation in infants with cardiac defects and intestinal microbiomes and short chain fatty acids in intensive care. Dr O’Connor also holds an honorary position at the Institute of Child Health University College London in the department of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation.
