Get your heart racing in the lead up to Wear Yellow Day and join in with the CF trust Circuits 4 CF Challenge.

It’s simple and suitable for all abilities: complete a circuit of your choice – for example jumping, squatting, or lunging for 11 minutes a day from Friday 30 May to Friday 13 June!

Why 11 minutes? Because we’re recognising the 11,000 people in the UK living with cystic fibrosis.

Make the most of the better weather to boost your vitamin D!

☀️The sun’s rays react with your skin to make vitamin D
🦴Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and muscles, immunity and improving mood.
📚Research shows that ‘little and often’ is the best approach to safe sunlight exposure and vitamin D.
⏰Light exposure for 10 minutes a day between April and September provides good amounts of vitamin D whilst also minimising risks of sunburn and skin cancer.
🧴If your skin is exposed to the sun for more than 10 minutes, then a sunscreen or sunblock is recommended.
💦Stay well hydrated, as warmer weather increases the risk of dehydration and constipation in CF.
💊If you cover up your skin due to cultural or medical reasons, or you do not spend much time outside, then speak to your CF team about vitamin D supplementation if not already taking.

Our team were delighted to have a visit yesterday from the Trust Chief Executive David Ramsden and the Director of Research, Lucy Allen. They had the opportunity to look at our outpatient facilities and thanks to one of our patients also got a peek into one of the inpatient rooms on D10. We were really pleased to have the chance to showcase some of the really great things that the team are involved in including our strong research programme, our close links with the palliative care team, our exercise practitioner and our fantastic social work and psychology teams.
