PEG FEEDING TRAINING COURSE

About the PEG Feeding Training Course

When PEG feeding is used, there are risks of bacterial contamination which can lead to infection and associated complications. Our PEG Feeding training online course will teach you the correct infection control and possible complications to ensure the procedure is done safely and correctly. This e-learning course will also teach your staff what a PEG is, how nutrition and hydration are important, the procedures for administrating feed and medication, and a demonstration on how to set up equipment, use the syringe, and recognize alarms.

Upon completion of the course, learners will be certified and can download and print their PEG Feeding certificate.
