Gastrostomy Tube Insertion and Aftercare (PDF, 4MB, 9mins 59secs)
About the Best Practice Statement
The Nutrition Nurses in Scotland have worked together to produce this best practice advice aimed at professionals caring for adult patients with a gastrostomy tube in place. It provides advice on care from referral through to the insertion and after care of a patient with a gastrostomy tube. The advice is a consensus of evidence-based information, where it is available, and good practice experience from Nutrition Nurse Specialists (NNSs) working with patients receiving this intervention.
