Who is this for?
Who is this Course for?
This course is best suited to team members involved in day-to-day PEG care rather than general care awareness. It works well for new starters in your team as an induction, or as refresher training and knowledge enhancement where staff need a clearer understanding of PEG feeding, tube care, and signs of common complications.
Ideal for:
- Nurses supporting people with PEG tubes in hospitals, community services, care homes, or home care
- Doctors involved in PEG placement, aftercare, or wider clinical oversight
- Dietitians planning and reviewing nutritional support for people with PEG tubes
- Residential care workers in nursing homes and similar settings
- Domiciliary care workers supporting people with PEG feeding at home
- Family carers and non-professional carers who help with PEG care and feeding routines
This course is especially useful when your team is supporting people who rely on PEG feeding every day and need practical knowledge that helps them deliver safer care, spot issues early, and work confidently with families and healthcare professionals across residential and domiciliary settings.
