Summary
The two most common clinical sleep disorders, insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), affect >4 million Australians, costing Australia over $66 billion annually. People with sleep disorders are receiving care that is far from best practice and is potentially dangerous. This novel partnership study represents a major step towards improving management of sleep disorders in primary care (PC) using new, evidence-based, models of care for insomnia and OSA, designed specifically for PC.
A national collaboration to generate new knowledge, co-design, implement, evaluate and measure individual and organisational level interventions that will address key barriers to leadership across capacity, perceived capability and credibility and cultural diversity, to successful advance women in healthcare leadership. This work is highly prioritised by partners and in a policy context.
