Speaking at Hospital Healthcare Europe’s Spring 2025 Clinical Excellence in Respiratory Care event, Dr Uta Hill focused on redefining the clinical landscape of cystic fibrosis, with insight into the game-changing impact of CFTR modulator therapy. Here, you have exclusive access to the session recording.
Since the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulator therapy ivacaftor was first approved in England in 2012, the potential for precision medicine in cystic fibrosis has grown exponentially, driving up standards of care and offering patients and their families more hope than ever before.
With Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approvals racking up, evidence emerging of CFTR safety and efficacy for even the youngest of age groups, and the launch of a new Cystic Fibrosis Innovation Hub to accelerate the development of new tests and treatment approaches in the UK, it’s an exciting time in the management of this debilitating condition.
Dr Uta Hill is a consultant in respiratory medicine and the cystic fibrosis lead and bronchiectasis co-clinical lead at the Cambridge Centre for Lung Infection at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
In this Clinical Excellence session, she provides an overview of cystic fibrosis before delving into recent advances in its care, including the development of CFTR modulator therapy and its impact for patients, as well as the changing pathways for adult care and the transition from paediatrics.
