RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Coming of age in cystic fibrosis – transition from paediatric to adult care JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 482 OP 486 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.13-5-482 VO 13 IS 5 A1 Dilip Nazareth A1 Martin Walshaw YR 2013 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/13/5/482.abstract AB Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common multi-system inherited disorder, with a UK population exceeding 9,000. There have been significant improvements in CF survival over the decades, attributed to improvements in therapies available, our understanding of the disease and better organisation of care. CF care providers have been early advocates for successful healthcare transition from the paediatric to adult sector and CF can be considered a model process where a paediatric disease has now become an adult one. This article looks at the transition process in CF and the future challenges CF physicians will face.
