One for the #cysticfibrosis community in the UK today - 6 tips for exercising in the heat! (or not!) 🥵🚰 #heatwave @CFAware
Things are heating up in the UK today… LITERALLY 🔥 BBC News reported a predicted 40C (104F) and the UK may even see an all time high temperature record set during this current heat wave! We hope these are helpful reminders for all of our friends in the UK ☀️
Great work highlighting how CF Dietetics is changing and how dietitans have the skills to support PwCF on their CFTR modulator journey. Here's our poster at ECFS which highlights the effect #Kaftrio is having on the BMI of PwCF #dietitiansweek2022 @CFAware @UHBTherapy
