Snoring & OSA: The Fundamentals

Snoring & OSA: The Fundamentals - Webinar Series

Welcome to our new ‘in 4’ mini-series, a condensed programme consisting of a singular week of webinars and resources.

It is estimated that simple snoring affects about 40% of the population. For some simple snoring is a noise with little impact, but for many bed partners are affected potentially resulting in serious ramifications. OSA - where the snorer suffers apnoeas and hypopnoeas resulting in severely reduced oxygen levels - has further consequences: Lack of sleep is linked to many long-term health implications and can have debilitating impacts on the sufferer as well as the bed partner.

Whilst help is available on the NHS for those diagnosed with severe OSA, there are many that either fall below the classifying AHI score, or that are simple snorers looking for a form of treatment to help reduce the disruption caused by their snoring.
