About this event

  • Date and time Tue 4 Feb 2025 from 9:00am to 5:00pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Sleep Medicine
Sleep disorders are common, treatable, and linked to long-term cardiometabolic health issues. Recognising and managing sleep and circadian rhythm disorders is vital, as undiagnosed cases can worsen outcomes in cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, and neurological conditions. With advances in diagnostics and treatments making sleep services more accessible, it’s crucial for hospital physicians to identify and treat these disorders, affecting an estimated 30% of patients.

Join us for a pioneering event on sleep and circadian rhythm disorders in hospital care. Expert speakers will share essential insights for diagnosing and managing sleep disorders, showing how sleep impacts outcomes across specialties—from cancer recovery to heart disease management. Discover sleep's vital role in patient health, gain practical clinical knowledge, and explore how better sleep practices can enhance recovery and long-term health.

By attending this event, you will understand:

  • Sleep and circadian rhythm disorders 
  • How to identify sleep disorders 
  • The impact of treatment of sleep disorders in cardiometabolic health and disease
