As the number and breadth of patients receiving jejunal tube feeding increases, more clinicians are encountering these children in clinical practice. This clinical toolkit is designed to be a practical resource for health professionals managing children receiving jejunal tube feeding in hospital and community-based healthcare settings in Australia and New Zealand. It was developed by a multidisciplinary expert working group through AuSPEN, using best available literature and expert consensus opinion. The toolkit is designed to be used in conjunction with the following published evidence-based consensus recommendations:
