Short Abstract
Brilliance has been overlooked in studies of professional work. This study aimed to understand how brilliant practices are made possible and enacted in a multidisciplinary paediatric feeding clinic, where professionals from different disciplines work together and with parents and carers of children. The existing literature has thematically described brilliance but not theorised how it is accomplished and enabled. Using video reflexive ethnographic methods, the study involved the video-recording of 17 appointments and two reflexive discussions with the participating professionals, who selected and reviewed five episodes exemplifying brilliant care. These were analysed through three themes: carer-friendly and carer-oriented practice; ways of working together; and problem-solving in actu (in the very act of doing). Using the theory of practice architectures, we explored brilliant practices as complexes of sayings, doings, and relatings, identifying the arrangements that enabled those practices and the forms of praxis involved.

Short Abstract
This article presents an agenda to improve the care and wellbeing of children with paediatric feeding disorder who require tube feeding (PFD‐T). PFD‐T requires urgent attention in practice and research. Priorities include: routine collection of PFD‐T data in health‐care records; addressing the tube‐feeding lifecycle; and reducing the severity and duration of disruption caused by PFD‐T where possible. This work should be underpinned by principles of involving, respecting and connecting families.
