35 billion to be saved by investment of 3.5 billion in digital health? That would mean reducing the cost of a treatment to 10% of what it is now! Oh yeah, we already did that @_sleepstation .

This is a great program to help people with insomnia.
💤 🩺 If an underlying condition is impacting your sleep, see your GP to discuss your options.

Hi @DHCCIO @digitalhealth2 @NHSEngland I am hearing that a nationally procured digital sleep therapeutic solution is shortly to be announced. Is this so? Did @_Sleepstation miss the open, public and transparent opportunity to tender? DM me in confidence.

Drowsy driving is impaired driving. It accounts for an estimated 1 in 5 fatal motor vehicle crashes on US roads. Read NSF’s new Drowsy Driving Position Statement which outlines steps everyone can take to prevent drowsy driving. bit.ly/3QwvSvj

There is evidence that clinicians are unprepared for difficult conversations and do not elicit patients values or provide emotional support. CBT skills can help. To find out about foundation training see this link pivotalhealth.org.uk – at North East, England

I think you mean @_sleepstation - my GP gave me access to the course and I successfully weaned off nitrazepam and dramatically improved my sleep quality!

📖 💤 Rodger's sleep story is common to many of the people that we help. Our online support is a key part of the Sleepstation programme and we pride ourselves on the service we provide. #SleepStories
ALT Quote from Rodger, 55. I needed to reschedule my sleep until the early hours and then progressively extend my sleep. I really benefitted from this approach and it was good to have online support during the process.
