Abstract
Background: The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 required an alteration in the routine care of people with CF (pwCF), deemed to be extremely vulnerable.
Aim: We wished to report the alterations in clinical practice, including the introduction of remote video-assisted clinics, made to manage the adult pwCF attending our large centre.
Methods: We studied clinical records over a period of 2 years (March 2019 to February 2021) by comparing 19th March to 20th February (Y1) with 20th March to 21st February (Y2).
Results: We have shown out of hospital Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT) support increased and a greater proportion of IV therapy was administered at home. The VAC model of care increased clinical activity while reducing clinic non-attendance rates, suggesting more individuals engage with their carers.
Conclusions: This new model of care has allowed greater engagement with pwCF.
