Why CPAP Therapy Training Matters
Sleep apnoea affects millions of people worldwide and is associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders and cognitive impairment.
While diagnosis is performed by sleep physicians, the success of treatment often depends on skilled CPAP therapists who guide patients through therapy initiation and adherence.
Despite this, formal clinical training pathways for CPAP therapists remain limited. Western Respiratory Sleep established the WRS CPAP Academy to address this gap.
