The Beat - A Patient Podcast series is for people living with tube feeding and is brought to you by Nutricia. This information is intended for people who are tube feeding at home, their families, and their carers, including those registered with Nutricia Homeward, and also their healthcare professionals. 

There are over 30,000 adults and children across the UK, registered with Nutricia Homeward who are tube feeding at home.In this special series of The Beat podcast, we have been interviewing people who are tube feeding, their parents, carers, Dietitians and other healthcare professionals to help our listeners gain a deeper understanding of tube feeding at home. 

In this episode our host Helen Hynes, a Dietitian specialising in Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) and a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA), talks to Gary and Steven, both of whom are ambassadors for the charity PINNT (Patients on Intravenous and Naso-gastric Nutrition Treatment). Both Gary and Steven know first hand the day to day challenges that come with being tube fed and explain how meeting others in a similar situation through PINNT made such a difference to them.
