Nutricia Homeward Tube Feeding Service

Our support begins when a patient is ready to be discharged from hospital and continues at home throughout the patient’s tube feeding journey.

The Nutricia Homeward Nurses have the skills to provide reassurance and support to people who tube feed. Their aim is to ensure that people are confident in managing tube feeding safely.

Our team of Nutricia Homeward Nurses provide training and clinical care at home for tube fed patients registered to the service.

Patient coordinators make monthly care calls to patients to organise deliveries, check stock levels and liaise with patients' GPs to request monthly prescriptions.

We work to provide a dedicated delivery service:

• Trained drivers deliver all supplies and equipment directly to patients’ homes
• Text Ahead sends a confirmation text the day before and a second text on the day of delivery to give patients more freedom and flexibility.
