CF Clinical Nurse Specialists
Julie Robertson, Ruth Padmore, Andrea Berwick & Claire White are the CF Nurse Specialists for the East Regional CF Service. We act as an advocate for patients and their families offering support, guidance and information.
We are the first point of contact for patients if they are feeling unwell, need support, have any worries or concerns regarding their health. We liaise closely with medical staff and all members of the CF team as well as other agencies, as required.
We have expertise in many areas of CF care especially:-
+ Management of ports
+ Intravenous antibiotic education and support
+ Nebulised and inhaled therapies
+ Psychosocial aspects of wellbeing
As part of the CF team we work closely together ensuring a holistic approach to the care of our patients.
