Infection Control/ CF Webcast

Katey, brought this to my attention and I'm so glad she did. If you are interested in learning about how germs affect people with Cystic Fibrosis, check this out.

Watch the Web cast to learn the basics of infection control and about Burkholderia cepacia complex, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA and influenza. It is important to know and use the basic principles of infection control and prevent the spread of germs in the lives of people with CF.

This could be very beneficial to newly diagnosed CFers or families/friends of CFers, so I really encourage you to attend the webcast. Practicing good infection control guidelines are a necessity for staying healthy for someone with CF. You can submit questions ahead of time that you would like answered.

The Web cast forum offers an opportunity for questions from the CF community to be answered. This educational tool helps to empower people with CF, families and friends to take an active part in CF care through increased knowledge about the research and the highest quality care.
