Theoretical-practical workshop on Sleep Apnea

Garcia Tornel Auditorium (2nd floor Hospital Dos de Maig, c/ Dos de Maig, 301)

The Pneumology Service of Dos de Maig Hospital, in collaboration with the home respiratory therapy company Linde Healthcare, has organized a theoretical-practical day for patients, on the importance of sleeping and breathing well to rest. Attendees will be able to attend a talk by Dr. Carme Santiveri, Head of Pneumology at Dos de Maig Hospital. The nurse responsible for the specific educational program for sleep apnea patients, DUI Glòria Roldán, will then speak. The aim is to allow interaction between patients and professionals in a context different from the traditional consultation.

This day is part of the Aules Respira cycle that this same service carries out throughout the year. The Xarxa d’Aules Respira is an initiative of the Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR), to which Dos de Maig Hospital is a member. This network promotes training and the exchange of experiences between patients with chronic respiratory diseases, their carers and health professionals from hospitals throughout the State. The Aula Respira sessions are held with the intention of facilitating the exchange of experiences for patients, and allow them to get information, orient themselves and resolve their doubts, all in a different context to the traditional consultation.
