It’s #CFWeek & it’s great to read all the inspiring stories on the theme of #BalancingCF. #CFHealthHub aims to support balance - empowering people with CF to build habits for treatment-taking in order to reduce the burden of self-care. Hopefully so it feels a bit less like this..
Today is #InternationalClinicalTrialsDay which gives us an opportunity to recognise how our amazing staff from the research and clinical teams across UHBW have come together to recruit patients into the vitally important #COVID19 clinical trials. (1/2)
Good morning
Mylan are reporting a supply issue with Creon 25,000 which should be resolved by end of May 2020. Please make sure you put your prescriptions in with plenty of time. If you are having issues obtaining Creon please contact your CF dietitans for advice. #creon@cftrust
We are delighted that over 1000 adults with CF (and counting!) are now on #CFHealthHub. Huge well done to all the CF Centres across the UK for achieving this milestone! 💪👏 We're so pleased that CF teams can continue to support people with CF who are shielding at home. #ICTD2020
