This article presents an agenda to improve the care and wellbeing of children with paediatric feeding disorder who require tube feeding (PFD"T). PFD"T requires urgent attention in practice and research. Priorities include: routine collection of PFD"T data in health"care records; addressing the tube"feeding lifecycle; and reducing the severity and duration of disruption caused by PFD"T where possible. This work should be underpinned by principles of involving, respecting and connecting families.
