Hi everyone, I’m Emma and I am on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). When I first started on this chapter of my life I, like many of us, was unsure and anxious about this new way of nutrition. My nutrition nurse signposted me to PINNT, and I thought why not join a support group to meet other people in a similar situation. I enquired about a group in my area, but unfortunately there wasn’t one, so after some thinking and planning I thought I would set one up. With help from Nicola, an HPN patient, and Brian, her husband, I have started to organise this, and, over the next few months, we will be setting up a PINNT group based in and around the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital area. We aim to take small steps to set up the group, and we would love to hear from you if you would like to come along and share your experiences with us. If you would like to know more, please email us via
