Once you or your baby is diagnosed with a Diaphragmatic Hernia, whatever the outcome we are here to support you.

We have many years experience of supporting families with CDH and Eventration of the Diaphragm and we have supported and seen a broad range of cases and outcomes over the years. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience in general of ongoing issues for patients, we are often a place of reference or consultation by Healthcare Professionals. If you are a Healthcare Professional please contact us to see how we can help you.

We have various closed, moderated peer groups which we operate through social media and which are complimentary to your professional healthcare and the information, support and resources provided by CDH UK. Many of our group members find it helpful to chat with others on our groups to help give them support, encouragement and confidence with everyday issues such as feeding and developmental challenges.
