#JoininJune4CDH is an awareness campaign set up in 2010 to educate on Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and to encourage funding for Research. Each year we choose a different theme or topic to focus on. This year’s theme is individualised care; why it matters and how it can help with transition of care. The basis of any care plan should be evidence. As far as possible the plan should be standardised, to serve as a bench mark for care and outcomes, BUT as we know with CDH there is no clear phenotype or guaranteed set of co morbidities and so standardising care becomes challenging. Therefore, it is important to look at whole person care and that involves a tailored approach. This plan is commonly referred to as an individualised care plan (ICP). With many years of experience is supporting families, it is our opinion that a robust ICP is a key factor in transitioning children to adult services. It gives both the patient and carer a clear ‘map’ of a person’s health, social and personal needs. This can give a patient a sense of autonomy and ability to cope when issues arise later in life. #cdhawareness

@mbrrace By learning from these women's deaths we will improve care and prevent deaths in the future, which is the positive action to take away from the day. Thank you to all the volunteer midwives, doctors and nurses who have assessed women's care, lay summary writers and @mbrrace staff

@NNAP_RCPCH Is this purely for preterm and NEC babies?

Our data on the Amniotic Fluid are finally available on the @humancellatlas just in time for the #hca2024gm Come chat about it at the coffee break!

No matter human or animal 🩷

@CDHUK_CHARITY Thank you to Queens University Belfast and @EastwoodPatrice and colleagues from RVI for a special CDH Community Conference! We made lots of new friends and learned new things about patient expectations and priorities #cdh #ccc #qub #cdhuk

We had a fantastic day at our CDH Community Conference in Belfast yesterday, with a great turnout of families! Medical professionals from the RVI and Queen’s University Belfast ran focus groups to obtain patient and family perspectives and gave them the opportunity to engage in research. It is such a positive action to bring families together for peer support and friendship and to be able to showcase the amazing work of CDH UK 🩷🩵 Our next CCC will be announce later this year to take place in 2025. More pictures to follow from the day tomorrow 🥰 #CDH #CDHcommunityconference #CDHuk #CDHpatientjourney #CDHawareness #support

Today is the start of CDH Awareness Month! This is an opportunity to collectively draw attention to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and to highlight its impact on patients and their families. It is also a chance to help improve outcomes. This year’s theme is ‘Family Impact’ and we released our new short information film ‘The CDH Patient Journey’ for you to share earlier this year(see below). We are also releasing our new information booklet ‘CDH and Feeding’ today! Head to our website is this link to see what you can join in this month to help raise #cdhawareness 👇🏿 cdhuk.org.uk/join-in-june-4… youtu.be/tsVtDPclH8s?si… #cdh #joininjune4cdh #awareness

April has been a busy month! @ernica_ern annual meeting presenting on Patient priorities in research and perspectives in signposting and #cdh2024 symposium plus the launch of @CDHUK_CHARITY new information short film 😀 #cdh #ideaalliance

@RCPCHtweets @asthmalunguk This is very important for our patient community #cdh

Every winter we see our services at breaking point due to illnesses caused by viruses such as RSV. An RSV vaccination programme could be transformative. We need your help to persuade the UK Government to make this a reality. Sign our open letter today! rcpch.eaction.org.uk/RSV

@NeonatalSurgery @NNAUK1 @hannahwellsNHS Is this open to all stakeholders?

We are extremely excited by this research that we supported and of the potential it has to change diagnostic techniques and methods to improve prognosis and outcomes for patients and their families. It is vital that organisations like ours are involved because of the ethical and prognostic factors that new and innovative research can pose and so we are extremely proud to be involved. #cdh #research #cdhuk #MakingADifference #Donate #patientvoice

Amazing working with fetal medicine specialists @PrenatalTherapy @uclh Jan Deprest and Francesca Russo @KU_Leuven @uzleuven to define organoids from congenital diaphragmatic hernia @CDHUK_CHARITY @NIHRresearch @UCLTRO @GerliLab @DBC_ICH nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to share that our article on primary organoids derivation from human amniotic and tracheal fluids, is now out on @NatureMedicine We present the first atlas of the unperturbed human amniotic fluid cells, containing epithelial progenitors of fetal small intestine, kidney and lung. Culturing these cells in 3D, our innovative low-tech/low-cost method, allowed generation of primary fetal organoids of multiple tissues from continuing pregnancies. Curious? Dive into the full article: nature.com/articles/s4159… @GerliLab @giuseppecala94 @MaxABeesley @GiobbeGiovanni and all our fantastic collaborators! @ucl @uclchildhealth @uclDivofSurgery @GreatOrmondSt @KU_Leuven @TheCrick @WEISS_UCL @ucl_IfWH @Tigem_Telethon @humancellatlas This work would not have been possible without the support of: @NIHRresearch @MSCActions @uclTRO @GOSHCharity @Kidney_Research @CDHUK_CHARITY @wellcometrust @EPSRC @Royalacademyof @ArmeniseHarvard @MinisteroSalute @MonashScholars @longfonds @oakfnd @DiamondLightSou #PrenatalMedicine #RegenerativeMedicine #FetalDevelopment #MedicalAdvancements #BiomedicalResearch #FetalHealth #MedTech #PrenatalScreening #InnovationsInHealthcare #MedicalBreakthroughs #HDBR #AFO #TFO #AmnioticFluidOrganoids

@StephenHearns1 @easyJet First thing I was taught in nursing training. Can still remember how to do it, but can never remember which is systolic and which is diastolic!
