On Eleanor’s books Professor Charles Gallagher commented: “I am so impressed at Eleanor Walsh’s outstanding books. They are extremely helpful for people with Cystic Fibrosis , their families and friends, and for anyone interested in CF. They present essential information and great insights in a very practical, relevant and comprehensive format. They should be required reading for Cystic Fibrosis teams and all health care providers looking after people with CF.
Eleanor’s books are a master class in how relevant information should be provided to people with chronic illnesses and their families. These books are an example of the great bravery and determination of people with CF. To quote Annie Lennox, “People with CF are doing it for themselves”.

Cystic Fibrosis Transition Programme for Teens This programme was designed by an adult who suffers from cystic fibrosis, to help teenagers transition smoothly into adult CF care. By following the programme, each patient will learn, step by step, how to take full responsibility for their own health. It is a gradual process, so patients can progress slowly and feel confident before moving to adult care. Parents can also follow their progress and therefore, slowly decrease the responsibility they have over their teen’s health. This programme should in turn make life easier for the new CF team, when dealing with teens, as they will have been prepared for adult care. 50% of the royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to CF Worldwide.
