Edinburgh Sleep Medicine 2026 Course Proposed Programme
Sleep medicine has expanded rapidly over the past two decades, yet remains a developing and highly interdisciplinary field. Sleep impacts multiple medical specialties — including respiratory medicine, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, and primary care — and has profound implications for public health, such as driving safety, work performance, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular risk.
This annual course provides a rigorous, practical introduction to the science, diagnostics, and clinical management of common adult sleep disorders. It is designed to give professionals the essential foundation needed to practice confidently in this increasingly important area.
Accredited by the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians. Endorsement by the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS) has been applied for.
