title: Enhancing patient safety in enteral feeding.
abstract: Misconnection of enteral feeding tubes to intravenous devices has occurred a number of times and could be life-threatening, or even fatal. A new connector has been designed to make misconnection impossible. This article outlines the development of ENFit, how its use will be introduced into the UK and how this will affect nurses' clinical practice.
