Planning ahead can make all the difference

PINNT's new Travel Guide for Blended Food provides practical advice for adults, children and carers who use blended food via a feeding tube. From travel planning and insurance to food safety, packing essentials and managing air travel, the guide is designed to help make travelling safer, easier and less stressful.

Key messages include:

Plan early with your healthcare team

Obtain a medical travel letter

Pack extra feeding supplies and backup options

Follow food safety and storage guidance

Research your destination and travel arrangements in advance

Whether you're planning a weekend away, a UK break or an overseas holiday, this guide offers practical tips to help you travel with greater confidence.

The booklet is free to members.
