'Gastrostomy: Is it for me?'
A team of researchers from University of Southampton have developed a decision aid to support people with motor neuron disease (MND) to make the decision about having a gastrostomy feeding tube placed. The decision aid can be used by people with MND alone or in collaboration with their healthcare professionals.

March 2016 – RE: ENFit Transition Adaptors
As part of the transition phase we wanted to update you and also remind you of the communication channels should you have any queries regards the ENFit transition adaptors.
If you experience any incidents with any adaptors in addition to internal reporting mechanisms, it is important to follow the actions recommended by the manufacturers themselves. Specific queries should be addressed to the customer support line of the device provider and/or the individual patient’s nutrition specialist healthcare provider.
This also acts as a reminder that MHRA encourages all incidents related to ENFit to be reported via the MHRA website.
Meanwhile, more information on ENFit can be found below.
