Nasogastric Tube safety has been a topic of discussion for more than two decades, with the first Patient Safety Alert (PSA) being issued in 2005 highlighting the issues surrounding misplaced NGTs. Since then there have been 4 additional PSA, a report by the BAPEN Special Interest Group and a detailed study by the Health Service Safety Investigation Body (2020). Despite the recommendations and advice provided little has changed, with misplaced NGTs still featuring toward the top of the Never Event list.
It's time for change. Join us on this webinar to hear about the latest policy from NNNG, an update from the HSSIB, a case study from an organisation that’s adopted a new method for NGT confirmation, and understanding of the challenges faced by clinicians when attempting to innovate.
