Details
This ASA Primary Care Council-led symposium brings together clinicians and researchers from across Australia and will present different perspectives of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) management from within primary care. The three different aspects of primary care OSA management will include: pharmacy-based care, simplified models of care in rural and Indigenous populations, and the role of new weight loss medications (GLP1RAs). Each presentation will include a discussion of important clinical issues, equity considerations in diverse populations and recent research to inform evidence-based practice in OSA management. The session will conclude with a panel discussion with all presenters.
