What the experts said
Children reliant on TPN and their families may face challenges when traveling abroad
Medication and appropriate medical supplies must accompany TPN-dependent children on their travels
Parents and families may have concerns about not having access to specialist emergency care for their child whilst abroad
ERNICA has developed an online map tool to identify specialist centers across Europe that are able to administer TPN and meet particular criteria
The ERNICA map tool is accessible from the publicly available ERNICA website
Users can search for specialist centers per country and access detailed information on each center through the tool
A holiday checklist document is available for download on the ERNICA website
Templates are available for local healthcare providers to provide a written record of the child's medical history and clinical precautions
