The ARTP, through standards of training and quality assurance, are the professional guardians of physiological measurement issues in respiratory medicine in the UK. With over 30 years of experience in the design and delivery of lung function services, ARTP provides the only national, professionally recognised, qualifications in Respiratory Function Testing and Spirometry in the UK. |

ARTP also recommends
standards for the design and delivery of lung function services through
position papers from ARTP Working Groups on the structure, function and
content of lung function facilities in the UK An important function of the ARTP is the provision of opportunities for Continuing Professional Development. The ARTP organises meetings and courses on many respiratory topics. Nationally ARTP informs and influences major organisations about the delivery of lung function services. Furthermore, ARTP links with equivalent national organisations around the world to deliver global standards in respiratory healthcare involving respiratory technology and physiology. The Association works in conjunction with the British Thoracic Society to produce national guidelines and standards for good practice in the performance of respiratory measurement. It works closely with the Department of Health in formulating policy and in the strategic direction of the profession. The Association is a founder member of the Conference of Clinical Scientists Organisation, the Institute of Physiological Sciences and the Federation of Healthcare Scientists. There is also closely involved with Assembly 9 of the European Respiratory Society. |
