I hear so often that GI trainees don’t really know what nutrition & intestinal failure jobs entail. If they knew earlier they might have considered it as a speciality.
Great podcast from Lucy, one of our previous Nutrition/Transplant fellows @BSGTrainees

🍽️🏥 Which patients with delayed gastric emptying are most likely to require clinically assisted nutrition — and greater healthcare utilisation?
This study in @FrontGastro_BMJ examines the factors associated with these outcomes in patients labelled with ‘gastroparesis’, putting an important spotlight on a complex and resource-intensive area of care. 🔍📊
Better understanding who requires additional nutritional and healthcare support could help inform how we manage these patients. 🩺💡
