RSF Interactive Resources

To support the framework, and to improve the ease with which users can find the relevant resources, we have developed an Interactive Respiratory Framework Resources page.

We have also aligned the RSF with the PCRS Fit to Care series and the interactive tool will highlight the level of knowledge, skills and training required to deliver services to the relevant standard.

Simply select the pillar, Fit to Care level and clinical area to find a range of resources to support you in your practice.

For more help on how to use the Interactive Resource page and the tools and resources take a look at our webinars and videos.
