Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system, making breathing and digestion harder.
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-limiting conditions. More than 11,000 people live with cystic fibrosis across the UK. It is often diagnosed in early life through newborn screening or a sweat test, and affects both children and adults. Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs, with symptoms that can vary between different people and worsen with age.
People with cystic fibrosis may experience:
Exacerbations may be indicated by increased cough, sputum production, fatigue, or weight loss.
Cystic fibrosis treatment often includes a combination of medication, physiotherapy, and dietary management. Cystic fibrosis care should be coordinated by a cystic fibrosis multidisciplinary team (MDT) based at a specialist cystic fibrosis centre. A CF team usually includes specialist doctors, CF nurses, specialist nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, pharmacists, psychologists, and social workers, covering both paediatric and adult care.
Cystic fibrosis services should provide virtual consultations and remote home monitoring technology as part of a personalised care approach.
The care of people with cystic fibrosis is expected to improve further with the introduction of many new treatments. CFTR modulators are a new class of medications that target the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis and can significantly improve health outcomes. People with cystic fibrosis should be reviewed regularly to ensure their treatment is meeting their individual needs.
Our cystic fibrosis home care in London is designed to support people with CF through the demands of daily life. Our home care services can identify simple changes that can improve your quality of life.
Strict adherence to a complex medication schedule is essential when managing cystic fibrosis symptoms. Our carers provide timely medication reminders and help with prescription pickups, so your routine stays on track. Establishing a structured treatment routine with the help of a carer can improve symptom management and overall well-being for people living with CF..
Physiotherapy is essential for people with cystic fibrosis to help clear mucus from the lungs and maintain good posture. Regular airway clearance techniques are necessary to loosen and move sticky mucus out of the lungs, supporting effective breathing and reducing the risk of infection. Airway Clearance Techniques (ACTs) should be performed 1 to 3 times daily, as recommended by your CF team.
Our carers can support you through the exercises outlined by your physiotherapist, including techniques like huff coughing, a forced exhalation technique often more effective and less tiring than traditional coughing.
Doing as much physical activity as possible helps clear mucus and improve lung function. Regular physical activity, ideally 3 to 5 times per week, can also strengthen the heart and lungs. Our home care service supports you in staying active and can assist with physically demanding activities, from rehabilitation exercises to everyday tasks around the home.
Home care services can assist with meal planning, cooking, and shopping to help you follow the dietary advice given by your health team. Patients with cystic fibrosis may face challenges in maintaining personal hygiene due to their condition. Personal care, such as help with bathing and dressing, is always handled with dignity and respect. Home care for cystic fibrosis may also require modifications to the home environment to accommodate mobility issues. Our team can advise on practical changes.
Psychosocial support is essential for people with cystic fibrosis to manage their emotional wellbeing and mental health. The emotional burden for CF patients and their families can be significant. Rates of anxiety and depression are 2 to 3 times higher in people with cystic fibrosis and their parents
Our carers offer companionship and emotional support, and can escort you to clinic visits, hospital appointments, and social events. They can also teach you mindfulness practices so you can better manage stress and improve your overall wellbeing.

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
