27th November 2007, Post Graduate Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
Attendance is free and representation from all labs in the UK is encouraged at this very important meeting.
The ARTP/BTS Certificate in Spirometry was introduced to give a recognised national qualification for those practitioners who follow and complete a recognised programme of study.
It is particularly suitable for Assistant Physiologists and
staff in Primary Care undertaking spirometry as part of an extended role.

details about the Spirometry Certificate & Assessment and to find your local
assessor.
There are many centres around the country who put on an approved course. Click this link for dates on which courses are running. If your local centre is not currently running one, contact them as there may be enough demand to arrange one.
(The ARTP Spirometry Handbook is an essential reference book to accompany the ARTP Spirometry Course. For more details see The ARTP Spirometry Handbook.)
(See also: Education for Health offer a Diploma Level Module: Spirometry for Practice)
The ARTP/BTS Practical Examinations (Part I & II) are recognised national qualifications designed to establish that a clinical physiologist satisfies the competence level expected of a basic practitioner practising respiratory physiology.
To find out more about the Practical Examinations click this link.
(There are two ARTP Practical Handbooks in Respiratory Physiology (Part I & II) which are essential reference books to accompany the respective ARTP Practical Examinations in Respiratory Physiology. However they are also a useful source of reference for anybody working in a respiratory function laboratory. For more details see The ARTP Handbooks.)
The ARTP Certificate of Competence in Blood Gas Sampling and Analysis has been introduced to demonstrate a recognised standard for those practitioners who complete the Blood Gas Certificate program.

Chief Scientific Officer’s 5th Annual Conference 2008
Tuesday 25th & Wednesday, 26th November 2008
Holiday Inn London Regent’s Park, Carburton Street, W1W 5EE
It gives me great pleasure to invite you and your colleagues to the 5th CSO Conference. With the NHS celebrating its sixtieth anniversary, this year´s CSO Conference will be highlighting the contribution of healthcare scientists to its success and looking forward to the science and challenges likely in the next sixty years.
I am delighted that this conference is now recognised as the key platform for promoting healthcare scientists and the part science plays in more effective healthcare delivery. This year's event promises to be even better than last year. Hosted once again by science broadcaster Vivienne Parry, speakers include the Government´s Chief Scientific Advisor, Professor John Beddington, Dame Nancy Rothwell and 'Quirkologist' Professor Richard Wiseman, as well as senior DH officials and Ministers.
The CSO Awards, which this year include a number of new categories as well as the prestigious Healthcare Scientist of the Year will take place on the evening of 25th November. The categories and application form can be accessed at http://www.agoralive.com/nhs60. I recommend these are downloaded now to allow plenty of time for submission.
Topics for the programme include plenaries covering the Next Stage Review of the NHS, research and innovation, science futures and building a worldclass workforce as well as workshops and the opportunity to network. Further details are on the website now and will be updated on an ongoing basis. Registration details are also available now on the website, detailed below.

Both Courses have 4 units covering the general areas of physiology, methods, clinical interpretation and conducting studies (lab practice and management, QC etc).
The courses focus on paediatric issues.
The course fees include all required
texts and also includes other hardware and software as required.
