In honour of #WorldSocialWorkDay today, we spoke to Fiona who is a Cystic Fibrosis Social Worker at the Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre and has been in post for almost 17 years. She told us more about her vital role. (1/3)
Quote from Cystic Fibrosis Social Worker, Fiona, "During my time here I have witnessed exciting advances in CF care which has resulted in greater life expectancy, more people with #cysticfibrosis entering further education, having successful careers and becoming parents. However, there are still many people with CF and their families who continue to face challenges and require support with aspects of their lives."

#FridayThoughts🧵 🚗Driving🚗 Most young people with #cysticfibrosis will want to drive as soon as they hit 17 years of age. This makes juggling hospital appointments alongside college/ university and a busy social life much easier instead of relying on family or public tpt

Chris Goss presents results of STOP 2 CF. 10 days treatment = 14 for early responders. 21 days give no added benefit for those who don’t respond by 10 days. Less is more? #ECFS2021
