Helping to highlight the quest to end 'never events'

The Business Desk has featured NGFS funding success and has helped to highlight the quest to end ‘Never Events’.

The misplacement of a nasogastric tube into the lung is known as a ‘never event’ in the NHS, which means that it is wholly preventable if current national guidance is followed properly, but it is still surprisingly common.

NGFS has developed a device called DoubleCHEK to prevent the misplacement of feeding tubes into the lungs, inspired by founder George Gallagher who was hospitalised as a youngster. The recent funding of £750,000 will take us that step closer to achieving to stop ‘Never Events’ from occurring.
