British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN)

The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) is a professional organization dedicated to improving the nutritional care of people who cannot eat normally or need special nutrition support. This includes patients in hospitals or homes who receive nutrition through their veins (parenteral) or directly into their digestive system (enteral). BAPEN promotes research, education, and best practices to ensure individuals receive the right nutrition for their health and recovery. Their work helps prevent malnutrition, which can lead to serious health problems, by supporting healthcare professionals in providing safe and effective nutritional care.
