Specialist clinical support and development

To continue the success of your PCN, it is key that clinicians are supported to develop their skills and knowledge further. We offer academically accredited courses and short workshops to enable healthcare professionals to stay up to date and offer the very best patient care.

Our offering includes:

• Spirometry

The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a number of roles for PCNs, one of which is interpreting spirometry. This course, using Interactive Blended Online Learning, will equip healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform, record and interpret spirometry in adults. The course has been developed in line with ARTP standards, and provides practical support and problem solving to prepare you for assessment and entry onto the ARTP National Register.

• Managing Heart Failure

Another focus of PCNs will be the management of heart failure in primary care. Our Level 5 and Level 6 accredited courses in Heart Failure are designed for healthcare professionals and cover multi-disciplinary approaches to care, consideration of the complexity of heart failure, prevention and service delivery strategies. These can be taken with or without assessment depending on the needs within your PCN.

• A range of other topics

We can help you with a range of other topics, supported by our academically accredited courses, our Learning Academy offering, or by developing new learning.
