Welcome
Hi and Welcome to the new West Midlands Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre Website.
We've been promised a good summer which hopefully will mean plenty of warm weather and sunshine. If the temperature rises don't forget to take salt tablets and drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration (see salt leaflet). If you're taking a holiday abroad this summer and you need a travel letter, please let Elaine Chapman CF centre Manager know at least 2 weeks before you go and she will be more than happy to provide you with one. Lastly if the suns out - short exposure (15 minutes) can be beneficial and help increase your vitamin D levels, but after that remember to apply some sunscreen, especially if you are taking Ciprofloxacin or Doxycycline as these medications increase sun sensitivity and you will burn in the sun without a high factor sunscreen.
Remember the Website Editorial Team are very keen for you to submit articles for the website so please contact any of us if you have any ideas.
The ‘hit rate' for the site has been encouraging so far but we want to see it improve
Many Thanks once again to our website sponsors, Novartis Healthcare and website developers, Harvey Walsh Limited
