"Sleep is the variable that every system — healthcare, business, sport, education — is missing from its equation. Not because the science is unclear but because our institutions were built in the dark, and nobody has turned the lights on yet."
What I speak on:
Sleep in primary care Diagnosis and management of chronic insomnia beyond sleep hygiene — for GPs, trainees, and primary care networks.
Obstructive sleep apnoea: the NHS's £4.22bn opportunity The economic and clinical case for earlier identification in primary care settings.
Paediatric sleep: a primary care perspective Sleep difficulties in children — practical approaches for GPs and community paediatricians.
Sleep, chronic disease, and workforce health How disordered sleep drives the conditions shortening healthy life expectancy — and what health systems can do about it.
AI, health equity, and the inverse care algorithm For policy, public health, and NHS leadership audiences.
