Consensus documents
Our consensus documents are designed to provide clinicians and services with guidance to make decisions about the best treatment and care for people with CF.
These documents are written by groups of specialist CF health professionals and scientists with experience and expertise specific to the topic of the consensus document, as well as people in the CF community.
Consensus documents are only available to view online. Printed copies are not available.
