We aim to share our knowledge across the UK to raise awareness of occupational lung disease through education and training, so that what we learn can help patients everywhere. We run a variety of workshops and events to support these aims.
Please scroll down to learn more about our various courses on offer.
You can also sign up to our Events Newsletter to stay up-to-date with our training and events.
We provide one-day courses accredited for 5 CPD points for Occupational Health (OH) professionals with an interest in the use of spirometry in the workplace. All courses are recorded and available for delegates to access after the event. Certificates of attendance are provided on request.
Please note this is not a practical spirometry course and a working knowledge of spirometry is required.
For more information, see the full list of our current spirometry courses
We continue to support specialty trainees in respiratory and occupational medicine by delivering one day regional training days in Occupational Lung Disease. These are usually held on rotation on a three-yearly basis.
If you would like to visit/observe our weekly NHS clinic, please email our clinical team at OCLDAdvice@rbht.nhs.uk.
We particularly welcome visits from:
- Occupational health nurses and advisors
- Trainee doctors in allergy, occupational and respiratory medicine
