Contact usPulmonary Rehabilitation: Competency Framework and Implementation Resources
The London Pulmonary Rehabilitation Competency Framework was created by the London Respiratory Clinical Network (LRCN) to develop and grow a skilled and sustainable pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) workforce for the London region.
The key aims of the Framework are to:
• Set out the competencies needed to deliver a high-quality pulmonary rehabilitation service
• Help staff to identify and develop the competencies needed to deliver a high-quality pulmonary rehabilitation resource
The London Respiratory Clinical Network and Health Innovation South London have created a range of resources to sit alongside the competency framework, which you can access below:
