At the Mid North Coast Sleep Clinic, we strive to help and support your patients suffering from sleep disorders with a focus on diagnosing and treating sleep apnoea. We have sleep clinics in Taree, Forster and Gloucester. Our team of friendly and professional sleep technologists and sleep physicians will assist your patients in diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnoea.
Our website includes information for your patients to understand more about sleep apnoea, the stages of their journey from diagnosis to treatment and ongoing compliance and management. Please use our website in your practice for additional support and information for your patients suffering from sleep disorders. We welcome any feedback from you.
HOW TO REFER:
Please fill out one of our referral forms and our staff will contact your patient for an appointment as soon as the referral is received.
All Medicare subsidised studies must meet the approved criteria in accordance with Medicare item #12250. I.e., for a GP to be able to refer a patient for a home sleep study, the patient must score ≥8/24 on The Epworth Sleepiness Scale AS WELL AS a score of 4 or more on the Stop/Bang questionnaire.
If this is criteria is not met, the patient will need to be referred to our respiratory/ sleep physician in Taree and Forster, Dr Peter Braude, before being booked in for a study.
