These plans show the shape and size of the proposed new Unit. Building work is already underway, and photos of the site will be up online shortly
Building work has now started on the new adult Cystic Fibrosis Unit and plans are coming together to make this unit truly unique – the artists impression of the rooms, and the sample boards, show how the individual rooms might be themed. We are looking for sponsors of each of the 12 individual rooms, so individuals and organisations interested in this should contact Emma Dickens on 0114 226 3555.

Case Studies
Michael Blackett
It’s perhaps not the most medically sound way of testing his condition, but it works for Michael Blackett. As an experienced musician, he can tell when his body is not at its best by how well he can play his beloved euphonium.
Ruth Palmer
Ruth Palmer is another CF patient who was excited to see the appeal for the new unit. She too is so inspirational in the way she deals with her condition. It doesn't stop her running around after her 19-month-old son Nathan, or dancing three times a week at the Hype Academy based at Sheffield's Leadmill.
