• To promote and facilitate collaborative research within CF physiotherapy.
• Share and disseminate knowledge of good physiotherapy practice and research, as well as information and resources.
• To be a strong voice to promote CF physiotherapy in lower and middle-income countries.
• To create and maintain collaborative links for clinical practice, research and education with other professional groups and interdisciplinary specialists working within CF care.

We are a friendly group and welcome contributions and participation from all members of the CF community with an interest in CF Physiotherapy. Please consider joining us, our membership application can be found in the tab ‘Contact’.
