Improving Care

Cystic Fibrosis is a complex disease requiring considerable specialist treatment. In the last 15 years, the Trust has helped to set up and staff 45 specialist CF treatment centres throughout the UK. Since 1997, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust has invested over £10 million in the NHS to improve clinical care for the 8,000 people in the UK with CF; helping fund doctors, nurses and multidisciplinary teams. We continue to fund the training of the CF specialists of tomorrow.

We set national standards on clinical care, provide and fund a UK CF Clinical Database and measure levels of service provision. Our Expert Patient Advisers (who all have CF) work with health providers and government to influence and improve the care of those with CF across the UK.
