Thanks to the patience and feedback from our group of pilot participants, SUCCEED has now created a streamlined and (according to the feedback) effective way to share our Tube Training Course via Telehealth. If you would like to try it yourself, please contact us! We have limited capacity in 2025 but hope to expand it next year, so please take that into consideration.

We will ask for a modest donation from each participant so that we can keep this going, but if there is significant financial hardship please speak with us in advance.

There are a few tips and requirements that we recommend:

1. A local guide
   The course is MOST effective when there is a local guide, experienced in tube meals, who can sit with the local participants and provide hands-on help through the course. This could be a clinician or a carer who is comfortable with tube feeding.
   
2. Equipment
   Tube meals are practical and telehealth can only provide the theory and structure. Having syringes, a spare tube, pH testing strips and some water to play with locally provides a level-up to the quality of the experience for participants
   
   A stable Internet connection, appropriate speakers and the largest screen available (within reason – anything laptop-sized or above is best) are needed. We use Teams or Zoom as the platform.
   
3. Allocate about an hour
   Including the introduction to tube feeding, demonstration and trouble-shooting, review of the resources and Q+A takes a bit less than an hour.

SUCCEED is entirely run by volunteers and relies on our AMAZING donors to keep traveling and creating tube mealtime resources. If you would like to donate, we promise to make every dollar go as far as it can. Thank you!!
