        4. Actual interpretation of the readings

    2. Lower Limit of Normal (LLN)
    3. Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
    4. Forced Expiratory Time (FET)
  5. Accurately interpret complex spirometry readings in conjunction with complex patient presentations - group work
  6. Long COVID-19 presentations amongst other respiratory complex cases
