The PCRS-UK offers a range of resources to support its nurse members with their personal development from our Skills document which helps nurses work out their training needs based on their role within the practice to a series of online case histories which can assist members with personal reflection and offers the option to produce a certificate of completion to include in PDP files.
We also signpost members to other training providers who are able to offer courses from one-day courses in spirometry to postgraduate diplomas and degrees.
