Trainees and junior staff

Across AWACFC we have trainee or junior doctors working on the wards and in clinic. These staff are essential members of our team, and help to deliver your care. We also have medical/nursing/physio students, trainee doctors and rotation physiotherapists who spend time with us to learn about living with, and caring for CF who you may meet. Helping them to understand more about CF, helps them to care for people with CF in the future, and may inspire the next generation of CF team members.
