A new issue of Dripline is out!
The November-January 2019 issue of our newsletter, Dripline, is out now and available here or from our Dripline page.
Happy birthday, PNDU! Our first issue for 2019 is celebrating PNDU’s 10th birthday – 10 years of supporting those living with HPN (home parenteral nutrition) ‘down under’ as well as raising awareness of this rare therapy, so it’s appropriate that we look at PNDU’s birthday celebrations and the events of HPN Awareness Week 2018. We also read about coping with life on HPN, written by one of our members, as well as a near holiday (delivery) disaster; we read about the care taken by Baxter staff members when gowning up before compounding our PN mixtures; an AuSPEN member writes about getting the most from our PN teams; read about some up-coming events that PNDU MC members will be involved in; see our new PNDU caps, available for purchase on our website; and more. Enjoy and learn,
Gillian
