10th November 2020

Please note that in line with government advice all staff are working from home; therefore we would encourage all students to use email whenever possible to avoid delays in response times.

If you want to continue with your education and training read on

The pandemic has provided us with the opportunity to review the ways in which we provide many of our face to face courses and workshops; we have created a range of ways in which you can continue your education and training from webinars, Q&A sessions; online interactive sessions and Masterclasses.

Academic Courses

We are now able to run most of our study days as webinars supported by Q&A sessions, videos and ‘Ask the Expert’ sessions. Each week we are adding to the list of short courses (undergraduate modules) and Masters Level modules that are available. The website is continually being updated to reflect this; so if you are interested in a specific course please visit our store, or contact us on [email protected]g for more information.

Spirometry Interactive Blended Online Learning Package 

Our Interactive Blended Online Learning Package is designed to enable you to undertake all the learning you need to prepare for the ARTP assessment. 

Since lockdown, we have been working to create a truly interactive spirometry learning programme. This learning will consist of a series of videos, elearning, Q&A sessions, and masterclasses to enable you to build the knowledge and skills that are needed to effectively carry out a spirometry assessment as well as to interpret the results needed to support people with respiratory conditions. 

Participants will be able to undertake this programme at a pace that is suitable for them in their own environment, helping to build competence and successfully undertake an assessment to join the ARTP register. 

This course is now available, to purchase your place visit our store.
