This session is designed for hospital pharmacists or trainee pharmacists that are not specialists in intestinal failure or nutrition.  The aim is to equip you with a basic knowledge of parenteral nutrition (PN) to draw on when working  at weekends, late nights or on-call in the absence of specialist staff.

Various commonly encountered scenarios will be covered such as requests for out of hours PN, and how to provide additional electrolyte supplementation to patients on PN.

The idea is to provide you with trouble shooting skills and knowledge you can draw on in your own practice.
