Geraldton Outreach
Last week, Kathryn and Sharon from our  Services team travelled to Geraldton to meet with members and provide CF education at the Geraldton Regional Hospital.
The education session was well attended, with an attentive and enquiring audience. We were also fortunate to have staff from Mullewa Hospital join us via video conferencing.
We love spending time with our members and we are always sad to leave, but eager to plan for our next trip!
If you are keen for a visit to your regional centre or would like us to deliver some CF education please contact Sharon at nurse@cfwa.org.au or on 08 6457 7333.
