Welcome to the ASCEND community.

Please meet our ASCEND Champions from across all four UK nations and the Republic of Ireland.

Our Champions are an invaluable part of the ASCEND project, connecting the study with dietetic teams and professional networks across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. They raise awareness of ASCEND, encourage eligible colleagues and services to engage and contribute, and help ensure that the project reflects the realities of community paediatric home enteral tube feeding practice.

By sharing local insight, identifying practical considerations and supporting clear communication and engagement, our Champions strengthen the quality, reach and relevance of the study. Their contribution is helping ASCEND build the robust evidence needed to develop meaningful safer staffing and workload recommendations for this specialist field.
