Primary Care Respiratory Society UK Nurse Tools
The Primary Care Respiratory Society UK has developed a series of nurse tools available to members of the organisation for adaptation and use in their local practice. These include protocols, patient group directions, clinic checklists and our skills level document which assists nurses to identify training needs.
Our nurse tools have been written by nurses, for nurses with input from other primary care respiratory experts.
