Lunch & Learn: Overcoming obstacles and achieving outcomes in Home Enteral Nutrition

About the Lunch & Learn:

Tube feeding can be complicated and challenging, especially in private practice in regional, rural and remote communities. In this Lunch and Learn, dietitian Katherine Chan will use paediatric case studies to showcase creative problem solving when managing home enteral nutrition (HEN) patients, including Abbott Homecare Connect. Katherine will explore when and how to escalate complex care needs to ensure the safe management of paediatric patients, and share her tips for effectively navigating NDIS supports within health systems. The Lunch and Learn will also demonstrate the importance of collaboration with other healthcare providers, especially in regional, rural or remote areas where resources are limited.
