A group of specialist dietitians with extensive experience of enteral tube feeding came together to discuss some of these key issues and to develop a bolus feeding decision aid to help in the day-to-day management of these patients. The aid is designed to provide practical, day-to-day guidance for dietitians and other healthcare professionals and to be used as training material for more experienced dietitians to share with dietitians new to bolus feeding modalities.
