Full description:

We would like 5-7 carers with experience of home enteral feeding to be part of an advisory group. The advisory group will be expected to: 1) give feedback on survey design and questions (1-2hrs), and 2) give feedback on the survey results (1-2hrs). The survey will be designed to gather carer experiences, issues, and tips and tricks when enteral feeding. We’re particularly interested in issues with delivering medication and the usability of the devices. The advising can be done from home.
