Health Europa reports on NGFS Developments

Tackling nasogastric tube misplacement

Health Europa, one of the leading online EU Healthcare & Social Care sector news platforms, has published the latest NGFS development story. This report highlights the importance of the recent funding grant in our aim to stop ‘never events’ and tackle nasogastric tube misplacement.

Never events are a wholly preventable, serious incident that should not happen if national guidance and safety recommendations are implemented by all healthcare providers, however, at this time nasogastric tube misplacement is still commonplace and carries with it the risk of severe harm or even death.
