PEG Feeding Care, start to finish.
This module covers the knowledge you need to safely support residents who receive nutrition through a PEG tube. You will learn about what a PEG is, how to recognise problems, infection control, and the care setting's procedures. This is the same module CareStream subscribers get, written for care settings rather than adapted from a generic course. It runs about 35 minutes and ends with a 20 question assessment.

Before every feed you must check the PEG site on the resident's abdomen.

What staff come away with
A PEG tube delivers nutrition directly into the stomach for residents who cannot eat safely by mouth. This module covers knowledge only; practical competency assessment is also required.
Always wash hands before and after PEG care and use non touch technique to prevent infection.
Check the PEG site before every feed for redness, swelling, discharge, or pain. Report any problems immediately.
Position residents upright at 30 to 45 degrees during feeding and for 30 minutes afterwards to prevent aspiration.
Stop feeding immediately if you see any signs of distress, breathing problems, coughing, vomiting, or equipment problems. Get help from senior staff.
Never attempt PEG feeding or problem solving unless you have completed both knowledge and practical competency training.

Before you buy.
How long does PEG Feeding Care training take?
About 35 minutes, across 6 short lessons, followed by a 20 question assessment with a pass mark of 80%. Staff can stop and pick up where they left off.
What does the PEG Feeding Care module cover?
6 lessons: What is a PEG and Why is it Used, Understanding PEG Feeding Equipment, Infection Control and Hand Hygiene, Checking the PEG Site, Positioning and Safety During Feeding and Recognising and Responding to Problems. Each one pairs the teaching with a care scenario and a quick check.
How often do staff need to refresh PEG Feeding Care?
CareStream sets this module so it renews every year. Staff and managers are reminded before a certificate lapses, so the refresher is booked before the gap appears.
Does PEG Feeding Care need a practical assessment?
Yes. The online module is the knowledge part. Staff also need an observed assessment in the workplace, carried out by their employer, and CareStream provides the observation checklist to record it.
Do I need a CareStream subscription to buy this?
No. This page exists precisely so you do not. You buy the licences you need, your staff complete the module in the CareStream hub, and that is the end of it. There is no trial to start, no card kept on file, and no subscription that begins quietly afterwards.
If you later decide you want the full platform, anything your staff have already completed carries across into your account.
What does one licence actually cover?
One licence covers one named member of staff for this one module, including the lesson, the assessment, any follow-up questions triggered by a wrong answer, and their certificate. Licences are not shared between people, because the completion record has to belong to an individual to be worth anything at inspection.
How quickly can staff start?
Immediately. The licences are on your account as soon as the payment clears, and staff get their invite the moment you add them. There is no onboarding call and no setup period.
Can staff complete it in another language?
Yes. Each staff member has a first language on their profile, and the lesson, the questions and the feedback all arrive in it. They answer in that language too. What you see as a manager stays in English, so the record reads the same whoever completed it.
What if someone fails the assessment?
Nothing is lost. A wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson on that specific point, and they retry it. The record shows the improvement from the first attempt to the latest, which is stronger evidence than a single pass mark, because it shows the gap was found and closed.
Can I buy for more than one service?
Yes. Buy the total number of licences you need and allocate them across your services when you add staff. If you are licensing for a group and want an invoice rather than a card payment, get in touch and we will raise one.
Licence any of these the same way.
Same price, same terms, no subscription needed.
