Dates: 23, 24 & 25 November 2008
Venue: The Beeches Conference Centre, Bourneville, Birmingham

This course is designed to introduce existing health care workers to the area of sleep medicine and sleep
apnoea. It includes sessions on normal sleep, sleep disorders, sleep apnoea, CPAP, methods of assessment and investigation. It will provide background information across a broad base, as well as more specific ‘how to do it’ type presentations.

Primarily designed for qualified health care staff wanting to move into the area of sleep medicine, particularly the provision of sleep apnoea services. It should therefore be useful, for example, to respiratory physiology ­technicians involved in sleep services, nurses involved in runnning CPAP services etc. However, specialist registrars in respiratory medicine will find the course entirely appropriate for acquiring the background ­information they will require as a respiratory consultant seeing potential sleep apnoea patients. Similarly, respiratory consultants, newly responsible for running sleep services will find this course appropriate and useful.

Maximum numbers: 25

Fees: £350.00 for BTS Members, £450.00 for non-BTS Members.
