Dignity Pegs

Kirsten Brisbourne 24/05/17 Dignity Champions forum

I am keen to try and launch the use of Dignity Pegs within Trust where I work.
Prior to approaching the Trust I would like to know if anyone else has experience of using them in an acute hospital setting.
If so, I'd like to know the following;
How long ago were they introduced and are they still used?
Were all staff receptive to using and respected the patient's dignity when the peg was in place?
Did you face any problems with launching them, i.e. infection control, patient safety issues?
How did/do patient's feel about the pegs?
What company did you purchase the pegs from?

Thank you anticipation of any responses.
