Delivering over 8,000 visits per month, our HPN Nurses have high level knowledge of managing intravenous access devices within the community setting (CVAD & PICC). They have extensive knowledge of intestinal failure, supporting patients within their own home to receive Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN).  

HPN is needed for patients with varying degrees of intestinal failure in whom nutritional and/or water and electrolyte balance cannot be corrected by oral or enteral feeding. Intestinal failure may be temporary or permanent. Our team of nurses are trained to support patients and families by offering a range of nursing support from total nursing, support and administration, training and education, respite care and ongoing long-term support including phlebotomy and line care. 

All of our key stakeholders’ (patients and NHS colleagues) are highly satisfied with this service and our clients see the specialist role as absolutely vital for patients accessing, often, high cost treatment.
