About us
Let’s Talk Respiratory aims to support and enhance patient care across the full spectrum of management, from primary through to tertiary care. Content is developed in collaboration with an editorial board of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals working across respiratory care. The editorial board provide expert input into the site content and work alongside the dedicated Let’s Talk Respiratory editorial team to identify key respiratory topics and learning needs in asthma, including severe asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis.
CPD
Let’s Talk Respiratory can help towards your yearly CPD requirements for appraisal and revalidation, with each high-quality educational article allocated a suggested number of hours of CPD. To see how many CPD hours an article is worth, look for the star with a number next to it (0.5 or 1.0).
The CPD recommendation is based on time spent on the activity and the associated reflection on learning. If you spend less time, we recommend claiming fewer credits.
