People with Cystic Fibrosis receive their health care from a multidisciplinary team of specialist doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians and other health professionals. These professionals work together to provide nationally recognised NHS standards of care. People with CF will attend regular hospital appointments to have their health monitored and the CF nurses provide outreach support to the family who provide the daily care at home.   Transitioning from paediatric care, where children and families can form attachments with the medical professionals who care for them, to adult care where the personnel and the procedures are different, can be very challenging for young people with CF. They are supported through this transition process by both teams working together for a period of time as the young person settles into the new environment and becomes familiar with the team.   While there is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis and whilst it is true that most people with CF will not live as long as those without CF, there are still effective treatments available, and many are carried out daily in the home.     Treatment includes:   Physiotherapy to help clear thick mucus from the lungs and help reduce chest infections and prevent lung damage. Parents are taught how to do physiotherapy with their child by the physiotherapist in the CF clinic. Adults with CF can learn to carry out their own physiotherapy. There are lots of different techniques to help clear the mucus from the lungs and the CF physiotherapist will advise and train the parents and later the young person carry out effective physiotherapy for each individual. The physiotherapist will also advise the parent on the frequency and duration of physiotherapy required and this may change as the person grows or when they have a bout of infection. Different techniques may be introduced as the person gets older.     Antibiotics and other medication to treat repeated chest infections and breathlessness. Some of these are oral medications and others are delivered by nebuliser. During periods of exacerbation of infection, some people with CF may require antibiotics delivered intravenously.   Special high fat and protein diet with vitamin supplements and pancreatic enzymes to aid digestion and prevent weight loss.   In addition to these treatments, there are many others, all of which can help specific problems that may develop. All treatment plans are designed individually around each person with CF and will differ from person to person.
