The talk will focus on practical strategies that can be implemented immediately in practice, in line with the latest NICE guidance and clinical evidence. This will include the role of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the limited role of medication, and clear referral criteria for secondary care or specialist services. The emphasis is on empowering clinicians with a straightforward, evidence-based framework to improve patient care.
