North Devon Paediatric Network clinic
Here in Devon we are lucky to live in an extraordinary Geographical location – however this does lead to challenges in providing accessible quality care for all. In order to try and meet those needs and keep travel times to a minimum the Exeter CF team links very closely with the North Devon Paediatric Network team to collaboratively provide both inpatient and outpatient care to those living in the North Devon area. The small numbers of CF families living in the area ensures that the local team knows each family well and is able to tailor the service to their needs.
The local team provide a monthly clinic plus drop in service together with twice monthly joint clinics with the Exeter CF Centre team.
Dr Dermot Dalton was appointed in 2012 as Consultant Paediatrician with an interest in Respiratory and Cystic Fibrosis. He has a keen interest in education and research. He is responsible for medical assessment and decision making locally, collaborating closely with the Exeter CF centre team.
