Hi Jo There is a very good NHS sleep clinic at Papworth hospital run by Dr.John Sneerson. As far as I am aware they investigate all sleep problems. Maybe worth giving them a ring. Regards Vicky Wells OH nurse Adviser Hinchingbrooke NHS Trust Huntingdon ________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Joanna Robbins Sent: 01 April 2010 07:59 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Sleep clinics Morning List I have an employee who has a longstanding insomnia problem and the GP continues to throw as many drugs as he can at her, she has tried acupuncture , hypnotherapy and counselling with no real success. I am aware of quite a few sleep clinics but they seem to concentrate on sleep apnoea only, I wonder if there is a sleep clinic out there which concentrates on this problem? all suggestions gratefully received especially if they are NHS based/ free!
