Talks and lectures to doctors, patients and public
I am delighted to give talks on sleep and its problems to specialists, general practitioners, patient groups and public societies. I don’t usually charge unless expenses are significant or time away from work is required as annual leave.
To book a talk, discussion or lecture please contact me through the website.
