A webinar aimed at Clinicians and nursing teams involved in the placement of gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy devices and their subsequent management. We have a broad base faculty from all over the UK and the USA, including the founder of the PEG tube Dr Jeffery Ponsky. Topics will include the PEG tube , Laparoscopic assisted gastrostomy, T fastener insertion methods as well as radiological placement. We will have a senior nursing panel to discuss post-operative management, as well as hearing from parents and patients on their experiences.

This is a new initiative to create a network for newly appointed Consultant Paediatric Surgeons. We all remember our first few years as Consultants as being a steep learning curve. We are all prepared to tackle clinical problems but how many of us were aware of the leadership, managerial and logistic challenges that accompany the job?
