Just back from the first Russian CF conference for parents and clinicians in Yaroslavl where we gave talks on Transition to Adult Care, The Role of a Nurse Specialist, Palliative Care and Clinical Trials to an audience of about 280 doctors, nurses, parents and ngo volunteers.
Also agreed a plan for further 'Master Classes' for Russian physios and some study visits to the UK all of which will help them improve CF care, particularly in regional centers. ... See more

We'll talk about the Role of the CF Specialist Nurse in the Multi-disciplinary Team, the Transition from Paediatric to Adult Care and how the medical profession and social organisations can work together - all new topics our hosts are keen to explore. We'll also be finalising plans for physiotherapy workshops and young doctor training in the New Year. ... See more

Professor Katerina Manika is about to take charge of one of the CF service in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, one of only two CF centres in Greece. To prepare for her new responsibilities she came to Southampton to see how CF is managed here. She writes:
“My 3-month training period in the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Service, Southampton was an extremely useful and interesting experience. I had the opportunity to observe the every-day work in the service including ward rounds, routine clinic appointments, annual review assessments and emergency admissions. I got acquainted with the different members of the multidisciplinary team- dieticians, physiotherapists, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers. In addition I met with other specialists who join the CF service such as diabetes and palliative care experts, microbiologists, gastroenterologists and ENT surgeons.
My training on CF care in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Service in Southampton England has been a multidimensional experience which I hope will change my every-day work in Greece. I would like to thank all the members of the multidisciplinary team for their time and for sharing their knowledge and experience with me. I am also grateful to the Child Health International for making this training possible. I would especially like to thank Dr Mary Carroll for coordinating this complex training, for introducing me to a different and wider way of thinking on CF care, and for always making me feel welcome.” ...

BIKE RIDE TO PARIS FUND RAISING EVENT - COMPLETED!

After battling with wind and rain for most of their trip our three quite elderly cyclists, Michael, Alex and Erika made it to Paris on Thursday 13th June!

Michael said that Loic (his son in law and their support driver) left his car temporarily at the last campsite and accompanied them by bike on the final stretch. At that point the bad weather cleared and they cycled into Paris on a beautiful sunny day. Alex did get a puncture but that added to the experience and didn't detract from the joy of cycling beside the Seine and through delightful Parisian by-roads and parks.

On Friday they we were given the best possible guided tour of Central Paris by Loic who was brought up in Paris and on the following day they went up the Eiffel Tower and they then all returned to the UK by car with the bikes strapped to the back.

They have raised about £2,500 so far in sponsorship money if you also take into account Gift Aid, but they are still seeking sponsorship. And so if you have not sponsored them as yet, please consider doing so now if you can. It’s a minimum of £1! Any amount that you can afford will be greatly appreciated.

To sponsor please click on the Virgin Money Giving link below and then on one of the photos of the cyclists.
