PEG Care
This training course aims to familiarise students with the reason and methods of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Feeding.
This PEG Feeding course is vital for any staff who comes into contact regularly with service users who utilise a PEG or any other enteral feeding tubes (NG, JEJ, PEJ etc). PEG Feeding training course is to enhance your staff’s knowledge and practical skills around enteral feeding, resulting in better patient outcome.
Avid Care’s training ensures caregivers understand proper hygiene, safe feeding practices, and how to prevent complications. Key aspects of the training include:
- Hygiene & Infection Control: Cleaning the stoma site daily and maintaining a sterile environment.
- Feeding Procedures: Correct preparation, administration, and monitoring of feeds to avoid blockages or aspiration.
- Tube Maintenance: Flushing the tube before and after feeding to prevent clogs.
- Complication Management: Identifying and responding to signs of infection, dislodgement, or tube blockage.
- Documentation & Reporting: Recording feeding schedules, patient responses, and any issues for healthcare review.
Our carers uphold our reputation and are valued in the community. They are themselves part of our own community of special people wanting to deliver the highest standard of care – upholding the principles of kindness and compassion – to give our clients dignity and respect and their families the greatest gift of all – peace of mind.
