What is this event about?

Although many children in Australia are tube fed because of feeding difficulties, little is known about tube feeding success.

Join this FREE webinar to learn about tube feeding and what successful tube feeding looks like. The members of our panel will share their expertise and experiences as well as their top tips for tube feeding success. There will also be opportunity for audience members to ask questions. Although the event will be recorded, audience members will NOT be recorded.

Who should attend?

Anyone who is interested in learning about tube feeding or receiving or caring for an individual who is tube fed including parents, carers, other family members, clinicians and allied health professionals.
