Specialist cystic fibrosis care
We have put together a collection of consensus documents covering various aspects of cystic fibrosis care, such as: standards of care, nursing, physiotherapy, nutrition, antibiotic treatment, infection prevention and control, and CF diabetes.

Consensus documents
Our consensus documents contain recommendations on the best treatment and care for people with CF. These are written and agreed upon by expert cystic fibrosis health professionals, scientists, and people in the CF community.
The main aim of consensus documents is to provide clinicians and services with guidance to make decisions about the best treatment and care for people with CF. This helps to work towards all people with CF receiving the same standard of care, no matter where they live in the country.
Consensus documents are targeted at health professionals working in CF care, but can also be helpful for people with CF and their families to understand the standards of care they should expect. We recommend communicating closely with your specialist CF Centre on all aspects of your treatment.

We would like to thank the working groups who helped to create these documents, and we are grateful for the comments and suggestions from members of the CF community and professionals who have been involved in their review.
