The CHI at Temple Street is one of the six designated paediatric referral centers for CF in Ireland. Our paediatric CF unit aims to provide a comprehensive (holistic) approach to CF care and offers a team approach to all children and their families. This Unit provides care on an outpatient basis.
CF Clinics
CF Clinics are held every second Wednesday of the month from 8.30am – 1pm. Parents and children are escorted to individual rooms for the duration of their visit.
The majority of patients are seen in our outpatient department regularly, usually every three months. If your child’s care is shared with your local hospital your child will be seen here at least twice a year. Visits may be more frequent according to the specific needs of the child.
Extra clinic appointments
If your child is unwell and needs to be seen before their next clinic appointment they can be booked into the next CF clinic or be seen in the unit. If at any time you are concerned about the health of your child please contact the CF specialist nurse so they can arrange an appointment. The CF nurse can be contacted at (01) 878 4377 or through the hospital main switch at (01) 878 4200 and bleep 795 or 730. Office hours are 07:45-16:00 Monday to Friday.
