This toolkit is intended to help with planning the staffing of respiratory & sleep physiology diagnostic services. It can be used to compare your current staffing levels in terms of Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) to diagnostic workload, examine the complexities of the services workload and look at the balance of skill-mix. It is based on data collected in the ARTP Workload & Staffing Survey - It is important that this toolkit be used in conjunction with the REPORT to understand and appreciate all the other staffing elements that are directly related to the workload but not generated by performing tests.
