For Health Professionals
The CPAP experts in Tasmania,
offering Australia wide services and solutions
If you have a patient who you suspect may have sleep apnea , it is a very simple process to have them do either a home based sleep study through CPAP Tasmania or refer them to one our of outstanding sleep physicians here in Launceston. The home based sleep study will provide a comprehensive report outlining results that may need to be acted on urgently. Sleep apnea is a very serious medical condition that, as you are aware, requires correct medical treatment and support. A simple referral for either a home based sleep study, a referral to a sleep physician or referral to trial a CPAP machine is all that is required to get your patient underway. The ongoing support and service doesn’t end there – I continue to support the patient with regular sleep reports downloaded from their machine which I then forward on to you detailing the information that the patient and I have discussed. I continue to liase with both you as a GP and their sleep physician so nothing is missed. The patient is the most important person in this process.
I am available after hours for appointments if needed. I also do home visits for patients who are unable to travel for medical reasons. Once they have the correct mask and are comfortable with how their machine works, they start to see the benefits.
Please contact me for both further information regarding a patient and their care as well as any interest you may have to invite me to come along to do a presentation covering all aspects of the CPAP consultation and showing the latest machines, new information and what the reports are like. This can be a wonderful informative way to get to know each other so we can better serve the public.
