CPAP is not tolerated – what to do next?
10 November 2020

This webinar uncovers the intricacies of CPAP use in the primary care setting. You'll also gain a better understanding of non-CPAP treatments for OSA.

Sleep is fundamental to our wellbeing; but what do you do when the use of CPAP creates more difficulties for your patient?

In this webinar three speakers will respond to this question from various viewpoints - from a primary care provider, researcher and sleep physician.

Dr Luke Katahanas will set the primary care scene by discussing the challenges encountered around CPAP acceptance and adherence, the use of personalised approaches, non-adherence side effects and the use of non-CPAP therapies. Dr Amal Osman will discuss current research evidence about OSA phenotypes and current non-CPAP therapies; while Dr Anna Mohammadieh will discuss how to translate evidence-based research into practice.
