In this podcast Carol Stonham, PCRS Executive chair, and Ren Lawlor, PCRS education lead discuss the PCRS publication Fit to Care, which provides information on the skills, knowledge and training required to effectively and appropriately manage patients with respiratory disease in primary and intermediate care no matter what your profession is. The publication provides simple advice which can be used to support healthcare professionals to be accountable and trained to provide respiratory care to a given standard, thereby reducing variation in care and ensuring patients can expect to receive high quality evidence based respiratory care irrespective of who is delivering such care or where in the community that care is being provided. The document also can be used as a reference for service managers to ensure the provision of appropriate educational support programmes for employed healthcare professionals. In this podcast Ren and Carol share how it can be used locally and provide examples with their own experience.
