What we do
King’s Adult Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Service offers comprehensive inpatient, outpatient and home care. We offer all our patients an annual assessment of their condition and treatment plan.
We have a specialist inpatient Adult CF Unit on Lonsdale Ward. We also run three segregated outpatient clinics every week. We also hold specialist clinics for patients with CF-related diabetes. Our specialist nurses, working together with physiotherapists and dieticians, provide a home care service. Outpatient appointments take place in the Venetian building.
We manage CF-related complications with the support of King’s specialist diabetes, liver, microbiology, gastroenterology, physiology, cardiothoracic and radiology services. We are taking part in several multi-centre clinical trials and have an active clinical research programme.
In an emergency: if your problem is life threatening, go to your local Emergency Department (ED or A&E) immediately. They can contact King’s Adult CF team for advice and further information.
