The Independent Home Nutrition Advocacy & Patient Care Alliance (IHNAPA) is an independent patient, carer and clinician-led organisation working to improve the experience, safety and integration of care for people requiring home artificial nutrition.
IHNAPA brings together lived experience, clinical expertise, governance, education and service improvement to address gaps across hospital, community and home-based care. Our work spans patient and carer advocacy, health literacy, clinical and governance resources, education, pathway development, research and policy engagement.
Working collaboratively with patients, carers, healthcare professionals, academic partners and health services, IHNAPA is committed to ensuring that people requiring artificial nutrition are visible, informed, supported and meaningfully involved in the design and improvement of the services they depend upon.
