Audience
This 2-hour webinar is suitable for healthcare professionals who are involved in, or planning to undertake, spirometry as part of their clinical role and would like to develop or refresh their knowledge of performing high-quality spirometry.
The session is suitable for clinicians working in primary or secondary care and is relevant to those preparing to perform spirometry within their own clinical setting.
Please note: This webinar covers the theoretical knowledge required for spirometry but does not replace practical supervised training. Those who are new to performing spirometry are encouraged to undertake practical training alongside this webinar as well as further reading.
About this webinar
This webinar covers the principles of performing high-quality spirometry in line with current standards and guidance, including patient preparation, infection prevention, equipment, test quality and common pitfalls.
Whilst the webinar provides the underpinning knowledge required to perform spirometry, developing practical competence requires supervised practice, ongoing quality assurance and appropriate clinical support. Participants should always work within their scope of practice and local governance arrangements.
This webinar is delivered in line with current ARTP standards and is designed to provide the underpinning knowledge required to perform high-quality spirometry safely and effectively.
The session focuses on the practical aspects of spirometry, including patient preparation, equipment set-up, performing technically acceptable tests and recognising common challenges that can affect test quality.
Topics include:
-
Indications, contraindications and considerations for performing spirometry.
-
Infection prevention and control requirements.
-
Preparing and checking spirometry equipment.
-
Patient preparation, explanation and coaching techniques.
-
Performing spirometry in line with ARTP standards to achieve high-quality results.
-
Understanding technical acceptability and reproducibility criteria in adults and children.
-
Spirometry demonstration and practical examples.
-
Reversibility testing and when it may be considered.
-
Recognising common errors and how to improve test quality.
-
Introduction to spirometry measurements and key values obtained from testing.
-
Understanding the National Spirometry Register and professional requirements.
Throughout the webinar you will be expected to contribute to discussion and will be able to contribute and ask questions using the ‘chat feature’.
The webinar will be hosted via MS Teams. The link will be sent out at least 1 weeks before the meeting. You will need a good internet connection and a microphone and webcam ideally.
