As a partner organisation SOFT UK also has the opportunity to participate in their research programmes, which help inform policy and practice in the NHS and the wider multi-agency framework.

We currently have 5 copies of their DVDs available for members to borrow, to watch or to show to family, friends or professionals who may benefit from seeing them.

• “How Does it Feel? Acknowledging the Emotional Impact of Tube Feeding”

• “How Do You Want Me To Talk To You? Recognising the Challenges in Communicating with Children with Exceptional Healthcare Needs

Please note these DVDs are applicable to anyone, not just families in Scotland. If you would like to borrow one please contact website@soft.org.uk.
