NEW TRAINING
| Course | Role | Who is it for | Course length and type | Further information |
| Spirometry with ARTP | GPs, Nurses, Nursing Associates, HCAs, AHPs, Clinical Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians & Physician Associates | Those new to spirometry.
If you would like to do performing spirometry only you can select to complete the ARTP assessments for performing only (the foundation certificate).
|
Once enrolled learners have 6 month access to the eLearning programme, within these 6 months students can access the monthly Q&A live sessions also.
You then have a further 6 months to complete the ARTP assessment.
|
Not everyone will need the full 6 months to work through the eLearning – dependant on your level of experience, you may be able to skip over sections and complete it quicker.
The 6 months to complete assessment commences when you register after completing the eLearning.
|
| Spirometry Refresher with ARTP | GPs, Nurses, Nursing Associates, HCAs, AHPs, Clinical Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians & Physician Associates | Those experienced in performing or interpreting spirometry and simply need a refresher and the ARTP foundation certificate.
Spirometry Refresher includes the ARTP assessments for those who’ve dropped off the register.
The training covers a refresher on both performing and interpreting and learners can choose whether they complete the full, foundation (performing) or interpretation ARTP assessments.
|
1.5 hour pre-recorded webinar to watch in your own time.
Rewatch as many times as you like over the 6 months.
Option to attend the online Q&A monthly sessions for a 6 month period.
Once ready to register for the assessment, you then have 6 months to complete.
|

|
