Dripline issue 51 is out!

The Feb-Apr 2025 issue of our newsletter, Dripline, is out now and available here or from our Dripline page.

Welcome to the latest issue of Dripline. Firstly, I want to rectify an omission that I accidentally made in the last, special, 50th edition of PNDU’s newsletter. I thanked some specific people for their help and support over the years, but neglected to thank one of the key people, who was there from conception, helped with editing early issues, as well as sourcing and writing some medical articles for me, and that is Emiritus Professor Gil Hardy. Gil is still very interested in PNDU and Dripline, and answered my request for an article on fish oil in intravenous lipids in our PN for this issue, so a big thank you, Gil, for both past and present (and hopefully future) help!!

In this issue there is information about upcoming events; how to vote in our PNDU Awards for 2025; save-the-date for our next annual social event and consumer workshop in Sydney in November; a write-up from AuSPEN about the outcomes of the first National Registry, for which PNDU provided consumer representation; read our members’ thoughts on swimming and bathing while on HPN; learn how PNDU president, Chris, represented us at various conferences, advocating for HPNers and informing clinicians about PNDU as an appropriate support group for their HPNers; and read about a wonderful Disney cruise that one of our families enjoyed.

Gillian,
Dripline Editor
