Hello from the CF START team! Please follow us to find out more about the study. Tweets are for families living with CF, their CF teams, and anyone interested in CF research! More info can be found here: cfstart.org.uk/
Don’t miss your opportunity to travel to @GreatOrmondSt for the MBW test. When your local team approaches you, when your @CF_START child turns 3, make sure that you complete the paperwork and return it to clinic before the referral deadline. @livuni_LCTC @cftrust #cysticfibrosis
