Good to know I'm not alone here! The idea for a local group sounds good.
Hi Lisa,
That might be a nice idea, and I had no idea there were others from Tayside! Let me know what the others think.

Thank you Lisa,
I wondered why I didn't have the information everyone else seemed to be talking about. Hadn't thought about it being a basic model.
Hi Lisa,

I'll wait for a reply, in Melbourne meetings are on the 3rd Thursday at night in the city.
Not sure if I'll go as it is difficult to park in the city.

REGULAR INFORMATION SESSIONS for 2012 held monthly
Have you been recently diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) or had CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) prescribed?
Do you want to know more about sleep apnea and its treatment?
If so, why not come along to an Education Session to learn much more about sleep apnea and its treatment.
These days are held on the first Saturday of each month. They are intended to complement the activities of the sleep clinic which you have attended.
These sessions are particularly useful to people who believe they may have sleep apnea, newly diagnosed sufferers, those
waiting for their second sleep study as well as those using CPAP for the first time, but all interested people are welcome.
These days start at 1pm and finish at 3pm.
Tea and coffee is supplied. Sessions are very interactive, questions are encouraged and all explanations are given in easily understandable language.
Topics:
• obstructive sleep apnea
• your sleep study
• treatment options
• questions and answers
Venue: Merrylands
Cost: $10.00
