I explain (and also occasionally rant about) what I am trying to achieve by trying to help people with obstructive sleep apnoea. I want to show what my goal is and how I think sleep apnoea treatment needs to change otherwise slowly patients will disengage from medical services.

I also talk through step by step what my process is with helping people with sleep apnoea. I explain why I want people to use CPAP and how I eventually hope to get them off it again.

I hope you find this video useful, Merry Christmas everyone.
