Congratulations to CFNA member Cystic Fibrosis Nurse, South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust who WON the Outstanding CF Paediatric Care Award. Yasmin said 'I love my job as I get to work with amazing children and parents. I also work with a really supportive and encouraging team. So this award is for them too.' Alongside Yasmin, Mark Butler and Jacqueline Francis were also nominated for their amazing work. It is fantastic to see CFNA members flying the flag for nurses and being recognised for the care they provide.

The RightCare cystic fibrosis toolkit has now been published on the NHS England website. It was a privilege to work on this toolkit with my fellow professional group chairs, CF Consultants and community representatives. As below, it does not cover all aspects of CF care/service, as this is vast (as we well know), it does however focus on key areas where inconsistencies in service provision have been identified. You can access the toolkit below. This RightCare toolkit will help support systems to understand key priorities and ways of optimising cystic fibrosis care, by providing key actions for improvement. It presents several priority areas across the cystic fibrosis pathway that highlight new and emerging areas of care, and where we know there is unwarranted variation that would benefit from further review and improvement. The toolkit includes a self-assessment questionnaire which provides a method for assessment and benchmarking of current services.

It was fantastic to see so many fellow CF nurses at ECFS in Glasgow. There was a great variety of poster by CF nurses including our very own CFNA poster, highlighting the results of our members survey! Congratulations again to Justine Coatman, Paediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Nurse Specialist, Kings College Hospital (picture below), who won our ECFS registration draw. A really interesting piece of work we look forward to hearing about at our CFNA study day!
