Notes from Joint meeting of officer of BSPGHAN and N3 on Tuesday 22/05

- one of the neonatal nutrition group to be on our nutrition and intestinal failure working group

- we will look to getting one of the neonatal nutrition group onto our intestinal failure register working group which we have just established jointly with the paediatric surgeons

- we will push to having joint collaborations/meetings

- we discussed our (increasing) links with BAPEN who have helped us drive the paediatric agenda - we now have a BSPGHAN rep on their council - they are constantly pushing the EN, PN agenda and being part of it just helps us all (across the ages) speak with a common voice

- David Wilson and Susan Hill (our rep on BAPEN) will liaise with you direct re the BAPEN meeting in November
