Nutritional nurses care for patients who are unable to eat and drink normally so might need specialist feeding tubes.
What we do
Working with the medical team, we assess the need for a feeding tube. We can also fit short-term feeding tubes in The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre if needed.
We teach and support patients on the procedure involved with managing their feeding tubes and explain how to use and care for them.
We resolve any problems with feeding tubes.
We liaise with dietitians and nursing teams in a patient’s local area to arrange safe discharges from hospital and ongoing care in their local community.
