Children and Young People with Cystic Fibrosis Network

The Children and Young People with Cystic Fibrosis Network was established in April 2009 with the aim to strengthen and develop specialist services for children with cystic fibrosis in Scotland.

The Network will support the service in improving standards of clinical care through the establishment of continuous quality improvement systems and processes.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting inherited condition. It is caused by a genetic mutation which is present in around 1 in 24 of the Scottish population. As it is a recessively inherited condition, CF will only develop if both parents are carriers. CF affects the lungs and pancreas the most, causing chest infections and problems with digesting food.
