The administration of a blended diet via a gastrostomy tube to children with complex needs is an evolving area of practice. Healthcare professionals must provide guidance, promote best practice and optimise patient safety where patients and families choose a blended diet in preference to the prescribed commercial feed. The Aneurin Bevan Health University Health Board in Newport, Wales, took a collaborative approach, by working with parents as equal partners, to enable a child with complex needs to receive a blended diet at school. The development of a protocol and risk-assessed approach enabled the delivery of bespoke flexible care that met the holistic needs of the child and family and improved the child's quality of life. The initiative also led to positive outcomes for the school and wider community.
通过胃造口管向有复杂需求的儿童提供混合饮食是一个不断发展的实践领域。在患者和家庭选择混合饮食而非规定的商业喂养的情况下，医疗保健专业人员必须提供指导、推广最佳实践并优化患者安全。威尔士纽波特的阿neurin Bevan健康大学健康委员会采取了一种合作方式，与家长平等合作，使一名有复杂需求的儿童能够在学校接受混合饮食。制定方案和进行风险评估的方法使得能够提供定制的灵活护理，满足儿童和家庭的整体需求，并改善了儿童的生活质量。该倡议也为学校和更广泛的社区带来了积极成果。
