This is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding of the refeeding process in an inpatient setting. To make it even better, I’m organizing a virtual watch party for hospital groups and programs interested in attending together as a team of dietitians, hospitalists, case managers or social workers. If you would like to coordinate a group watch party for your team, please comment below or send me a message. Let's learn and grow together in optimizing patient care! #Nutrition #Healthcare #Webinar #Dietitians #HospitalCare #Refeeding #NutritionRehabilitation #eatingdisorders #hospitalists #casemanagers

🌟📣 Celebrate Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) Awareness Week with us! 📣🌟 Join us as we highlight the importance of nutrition support and hear inspiring stories from those on HPN. Oley focuses on supporting people receiving PN and tube feeds, and we often work with chronic or long-term patients. It's surprising that most institutions consider a long-term CVAD (central venous access device) only six days!! Let’s come together to educate, share experiences, and build connections within our community. Your voice is important—share your journey, the challenges you've overcome, and the accomplishments you've achieved. Together, we can raise awareness and support those who rely on this essential therapy, whether you need HPN for 1 day or 10,000 days. Oley is your community. 💪 #hpnawarenessweek #Oley #IAmOley #NutritionalSupport #CommunityStrength  #LifeSustainingCare

This week marks the 2024 Feeding Tube Awareness Week (4-10th February 2024) taking place worldwide - designed to encourage people to talk about their experiences with tube feeding and raise awareness. Each year we seek to raise awareness of the positive benefits of feeding tubes which are a simple piece of medical equipment, used for both children and adults for a variety of conditions but which can represent a lifesaving medical intervention. Tube feeding is the process of supplying nutrients to people who are unable to eat or drink orally via a tube through the nose or directly into the stomach and there are a wide range conditions where tube feeds enable people to receive their necessary nutrition. There are an estimated 40,000 adults and children in the UK relying on tube feeding.[1] As we celebrate #FeedingTubeAwarnessWeek, BSNA supports the campaign’s focus on embracing the positives and being thankful that feeding tubes help people to live, grow and thrive!

🎓 Excited to share that I've just completed a comprehensive course NURSING STUDIES- DIET THRAPY ! 🌟 Throughout this journey, I delved deep into understanding various diseases, the intricacies of different diets in hospital settings, and the crucial timing for administering these diets to patients. From specialized nutrition plans to tailored interventions, I've gained invaluable insights into optimizing patient care. But it doesn't stop there! This course also equipped me with practices to assist patients in coping with both physical and emotional stresses during their hospital stays. Because holistic care isn't just about treating symptoms; it's about nurturing the mind, body, and soul. I'm eager to apply these newfound skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Here's to the journey ahead, filled with compassion, understanding, and dedication to serving others. 🌿💙 #Healthcare #Nutrition #PatientCare #ContinuousLearning #dietetics #Dietician
