Once a patient has been flagged as a candidate for sleep apnoea investigation, the next challenge is choosing the right diagnostic pathway and acting on the result. This webinar covers sleep study types and their clinical indications, Medicare rebate eligibility, and how to interpret reports in a general practice context. Dr David Cunnington also addresses management options, referral decision-making, and the GP's ongoing role once a diagnosis is confirmed.
Learning Outcomes
