Cystic fibrosis psychology service

The cystic fibrosis psychology service assesses patients and provides treatment to support them with a range of psychological issues.

These include helping you with:

Psychological issues from living with cystic fibrosis (CF)
Coping with managing symptoms and procedures
Anxiety, depression and loss relating to CF
Lifestyle and behaviour-change relating to CF.

We can also offer support to your carers and family members.

Team of professionals

We work closely with hospital staff from the regional CF team. Part of our work is to provide consultation, training, supervision and support for staff working in the cystic fibrosis services.

Where will I be seen?

Your appointment might be at either the chest clinic or our outpatient department at the Royal Victoria Infirmary.
You may also be offered support via telephone or video conferencing.

You may be seen on a hospital ward during a hospital stay, or we could arrange a home visit if necessary.

How can I be referred into the service?

Members of the regional CF team can refer you to our service.

If you think you might benefit from our services, please talk to your consultant or other member of the cystic fibrosis healthcare team.
