Just heard our team's plane has landed from Belfast after 2 days at the ARTP's Annual Conference '50th' Anniversary, and makes us feel young as we'll be celebrating our own 10th Anniversary as a Charity this year at our Patient Event in Hull 😊 (added an image at the end for those that missed previous pots).

Natalie, Sue and Alex had a day's rest after their usual passionate work showing the sleep clinicans all the products that can help their patients on CPAP, and learning ourselves of new products, research and sleep apnoea news which we'll be sharing in due course.

Included photo's they sent from the streets of Belfast too, as for those still waiting for a diagnosis or treatment, remember 'everything is going to be alright' and we'll help and support patients where we can, which is one of our main passions 🎗

Thank x

It was lovely to see some of you on today's webinar for as Kath Hope, Founder of the Charity spoke about the risk of mental health struggles with untreated sleep apnoea. Here's a couple of our presentation slides showing that sleep apnoea doesn't just cause physical health problems, like etc - it also causes emotional and mental health issues.

Slide 2 shows a link to just one of many studies, where it was stated the untreated raised the risk of the following 😢
 Anxiety, by 3.68 times
 Depression, by 3.11 times
 Severe Psychological Distress, by 2.88 times
 Suicidal Thoughts, by 2.75 times

We get inundated with requests about the implants about who is eligible, and this image provided by Genio - Sleep Apnea Treatment should help patients and clinicians alike when the Genio Implant is being considered as an alternative treatment to for

Here in the UK implant surgery is carefully considered for selected patients, which is important for both the patients and NHS who fund this. Genio themselves recognise their implant is not the right fit for everyone, which is why proper screening and specialist assessment are so important.

Treating sleep apnoea is not a 'one-fix-for-all' despite the fact that CPAP still remains the gold standard treatment - successfully treating the majority of patients.

In summary 'right patient, right treatment, right outcome' and hope this helps.

Hmm...so the image on the right was from 2017 and here I am again in 2026 with having worn out that 'S' key again on my laptop. The 1st one was a HP laptop and this one's a Dell (and there was one by Asus it happened to in between).

So it's official that no manufacturer's laptop is robust enough to cope with my repetitive use of the 'S' key...

Looking forward to a 10 minute chat in the morning about on BBC Leeds Radio with Gayle Lofthouse at 10.40am (Monday 27th April).
For those in the Yorkshire area who can listen live, there should be an opportunity to call in too with your own experiences 😊
