About the Respiratory Workforce
One of our key priorities is to make sure there are sufficient numbers of trained professionals across the respiratory workforce, and that the NHS is adequately invested to deliver better respiratory outcomes for patients.
Our work is informed by a wide range of clinicians, partners and our Workforce and Service Development Committee.
In 2022, we published "A respiratory workforce for the future", a landmark report that looks at the vital importance of the multi-professional respiratory team, highlights the additional staffing required across all respiratory professions and calls for a number of changes in resourcing, training and commissioning that must be put in place to ensure the NHS has a sustainable respiratory workforce today and in the future.
