Spirometry Interpretation in Primary Care for Practice Nurses
16 March 2018 @ 9:15 am - 1:00 pm
Spirometry is an essential lung function investigation used as part of the assessment and diagnosis of a range of lung diseases. It should be quality assured and only performed by health care professionals who have been assessed as competent against ARTP standards.
A new framework is being introduced over four years from April 2017 to 31st March 2021 to allow practitioners to demonstrate their competence and apply for inclusion on the National Register.

- To provide an introduction to spirometry interpretation
Learning Outcomes
- Revision of the requirements for offering a gold standard spirometry service in primary care
- To understand the requirements for entry onto the new National Spirometry Register
- To develop a structured approach to spirometry interpretation
- To increase understanding of normal and abnormal patterns of spirometry especially in relation to the patient history
