Research Findings
This project ‘Health-related quality of life in patients who utilise home enteral nutrition in Australia/New Zealand’ was conducted by ausEE President and UOW Academic, Dr Mercedez Hinchcliff. This study delved into the utilisation of Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) across Australia and New Zealand. This research survey was launched during FTAW2023 and we were excited to share the preliminary findings during FTAW2024.
We thank all the respondents for contributing to this research. Being the first project of its kind in Australia, it has generated valuable data that we hope will pave the way for enhanced support and greater awareness.
Light Up Landmarks
Landmarks, buildings and bridges around Australia and New Zealand illuminated purple and blue to raise awareness about tube feeding and show their support for people with feeding tubes.
We encouraged the community to visit these #FTAWLightUp landmark locations on the light up night/s and take a photo to share on social media to help raise awareness!
We host regular virtual support group chats for families and individuals managing tube feeding and for teens with feeding tubes as an opportunity for people to share/hear stories, ask questions and connect with others with lived experience.
