This session provides clinician-led insights into the practicalities and benefits of group asthma care, equipping participants with the confidence and inspiration to trial this innovative approach in their own practice.

    This session provides a structured introduction to the identification and diagnosis of common sleep disorders seen in primary care. Using case-based discussion, we will highlight how sleep issues present in day-to-day consultations and how to distinguish insomnia from other sleep conditions. 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.
