“…Although gastroenterologists and radiologists have tended to predominate in tube placement, these specialties are in short supply (Brill, ) and are largely hospital‐based. With the development of balloon gastrostomies that can be used in community settings, dietitians have adopted these new skills (Abbott, ; Watts et al ., ).…”

To date, a lack of role exclusivity in a small and confined speciality field with multiple potential competitors has resulted in surprisingly little role conflict. Financial constraints within the National Health Service are considered likely to favour a privately funded service model of delivery, and this may have implications for dietitians specialising in this field. Dietitians also perceived an increase in professional status as a result of extended roles.

One response to the challenges of modern day clinical practice has been to employ "mid-level providers" (MLPs), such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. MLPs may complement physicians by supporting patient self-management and performing routine, protocol-guided management. In turn, MLPs may improve health outcomes and simultaneously lower costs. Within gastroenterology, the prevalence of MLPs remains unknown, though it appears to be significant and increasing. Additionally, professional organizations predict that in the future, MLPs will play a central role in digestive disease care. Although incorporating MLPs into gastroenterology has great potential, numerous challenges exist, and their specific roles must first be defined and evaluated.
