15/Jul/2019 – A podcast is released by the British Thoracic Society on GP Screening that you may be interested in. The podcast is chaired by Professor John Stradling (Oxford) and features a discussion with Dr Ian Smith (Cambridge) and Dr Robert Koefman (Binfield) who discuss their experiences of hospitals and GPs liaising to improve the diagnosis of OSA, with major benefit to both patients and services, and how this might be rolled out more widely. They and we believe that if we can encourage GPs to offer this service, more patients can be diagnosed more quickly and get the treatment they need so that, in the case of commercial drivers, they can return to their driving duties without impacting their licence or their livelihood. https://www.respiratoryfutures.org.uk/debate/
