Dietitians
Nutrition plays a vital role in the health of people with cystic fibrosis a healthy nutritional status and body weight is vital for maximising and maintaining lung function.
We advise and provide information for patients on all aspects of their nutritional needs and work closely with our CF Diabetes Specialist Nurse and CF Support Worker on the diagnosis and management of Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes.
We also have a weekly dietitian only clinic held virtually (via video). This provides the opportunity and more time to speak to a dietitian 1:1 outside of regular clinic appointments. You can find out more here
Watch our ‘Refresh – Eating Well on CFTR Modulators’ webinar to find out more about how you can introduce healthy eating principles into your diet to help you manage your weight.
