Respiratory care – Organisational audit 2024 (NRAP)
The National Respiratory Audit Programme (NRAP) has published an Organisational Audit 2024 on the resourcing and organisation of asthma / COPD care. Based on data from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, this report presents the findings of a national audit of acute hospital respiratory services and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) services across England and Wales.
By combining these data in a single report by NRAP for the first time, it provides unique insights into how respiratory services are organised, and identifies variations in both team structure and resourcing.
Respiratory conditions affect the lives of millions of people in the UK, impacting on health and wellbeing across the entire life course
The report includes five national recommendations which, if improved, will drive impact and improve outcomes:
- Implementation of workforce ratios
- 7-day access to respiratory specialist advice and respiratory nurse specialists
- Supporting young people with asthma to transition into adult care
- Tobacco dependence treatment and support for children and young people
- Widening access to pulmonary rehabilitation.
