Parenteral Nutrition with Professor Nicholas Embleton

Show notes

In this episode, we talk with Professor Nicholas Embleton, a leading authority in neonatal nutrition, about the evolution of parenteral nutrition and its transformative role in the care of preterm infants. He traces the history of neonatal nutrition from its early experimental use in the 1970s to its central role in today’s neonatal intensive care. Professor Ambleton shares key milestones in understanding amino acid balance, the shift from focusing solely on survival to optimizing long-term outcomes, and the essential role of clinical governance in ensuring safe and effective delivery of nutrition. We also explore current challenges, including the need for real-time nutritional monitoring to better tailor care for vulnerable neonates.
