When asked to rate their patient/carer experiences of BD there were no negative responses and the majority were positive experiences (very good 60%, excellent 26.7%). Amongst those not using BD the most frequently selected reasons were, it wasn't requested by patient/carer (76%), risk of tube blockages (51.7%), unknown nutritional content (42.6%) and infection risk (40.6%). Over 90% of respondent stated that they would like further information regarding BD most notably around nutritional adequacy, risk of blockages and patient experience. BD is being used in the UK. It appears to result in a positive patient experience and can be effective in managing GI disturbances. Despite concerns the use of BD does not appear to have resulted in significant complications. Finally, it's evident through the significant number of respondents requesting further information that dietitians potentially feel that there is a lack of evidence around the implementation of BD in the UK.
