This course is suitable for healthcare workers who will be involved in the reporting of spirometry (reading spirometry reports), who are looking for formal training which can lead to ARTP assessment.
To support delegates in performing and reporting on spirometry, the place of practice will need to commit to providing a spirometer which aligns to the current UK standards; has the ability to print z-scores, graphs of all attempted blows and uses GLI Global reference range as the predicted values and to ensure the spirometer undergoes annual service and calibration as per manufacturer guidance. It is recommended that applicants have basic computer skills (use drop down menus, select and accept options on a digital platform) and are able to understand and perform basic mathematical operations (multiplication, division, decimals and percentages) to successfully complete the ARTP assessment process. Protected time within the clinical setting will be required to enable the delegate to complete the ARTP assessment process.
