Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
If used correctly, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy is 100% effective in the treatment of significant Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). We can help you get started on CPAP therapy quickly. If you experience difficulties in tolerating CPAP therapy we can helpyou get used to CPAP or explore alternative options for treatment of sleep apnoea
Sleep Studies
We carry out home sleep apnoea tests and actigraphy. We arrange full Polysomnography and other advanced sleep studies at Wales’ leading Centre for Sleep Medicine, the Aneurin Bevan Sleep Centre.
Snoring
Snoring and mild sleep apnoea are probably best treated by measures other than CPAP therapy. We can help you choose the treatment most suitable for you.
