Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea for the Community Pharmacist

LET’S DIVE IN

So, now imagine you’re speaking with an adult snorer or perhaps their partner.

You ideally want to have a consultation with the snorer AND partner together, because you need to include a sleep apnoea symptom assessment and both their lives are impacted.

OSA is a cause of considerable morbidity, reduced quality of life and premature death.

Snoring may be a symptom of OSA, as such OSA is often undiagnosed or symptomatically
treated.

Over the last twenty years, our knowledge of both snoring and OSA has dramatically
increased.

We can now help people:

• Stop snoring (NICE make specific recommendations about this)
• and provide effective therapy for OSA patients to improve and extend their healthy lives

As a result, there has been an extraordinary rise in the number of GP referrals for these
conditions.

As a pharmacist you can help address this.
