Hi everyone just wanted to know how often are your clinic visits? Here in England its every eight weeks.

We have had an issue at clinic as for many years the clinic has always let the children mix. As in children were in a small play room all togeather and coughing etc in close contact with the others.To be honest we could not understand why they let all of them mix in such a small enviroment. Everytime our child went she would come home and be ill and have to go on antibiotics.

We raised this issue with them after our daughter got pseudo twice. We have now said that we do not want to take her to there as we have been doing cough swabs with our gp. She is doing great. It has been months since she has needed antibiotics.

They have told us we have no choice but to take her there, and say they now do separate rooms. My point is the children still stand a chance of picking pseudo up as they could go in a room where a child who has it has been.

Have any of you had this problem? We are happy to get her seen but feel whilst we can do the basics with her gp why should we have to put her at risk.


Have any of you encountered this and what have you done...What are your rights?

Our clinic follows pretty stringent cross contamination procedures: all patients wear masks, all kids go immediately to their own room, each room is thoroughly cleaned between patients, lots of purell is around, and those who culture PA or worse get the last appts. of the days. I can totally understand your fear and frustration. Are there any regular docs who are willing to work with the CF center so much of your care can be done without cross contamination concerns?

My 4 month old son goes to clinic once a month at this point, however they did say that as he gets older, he will change to every 2 to 3 months, as long as all is well health wise with him.

Our clinic also has very strict rules in order to prevent cross contamination. They tend to see the youngest patients first thing in order to prevent them from acquiring pseudo and other more dangerous infections so early. They also do not allow CF patients to wait in the waiting room for very long, as they do not want 2 CF patients out there together.

Reece goes every 3~4 weeks...if he can make it that long without getting sick.

Since he cultures MRSA & PA already (mainly MRSA) they have him come to the back to his room as soon as we get there. But our clinic is pretty good about the cross contamination too. Ive seen them clean up behind us if they didnt have a room ready right away. (we were brought to the hallway seating area)
