Organised by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS), the Sleep and Breathing conference is the largest pan-European meeting of its type and the only meeting offering an integrated approach to the investigation and treatment of sleep disorders.
Educational aims
Taking place in Marseille 2019, the focus was on professional development and education.
This year’s programme placed a spotlight on sleep and breathing disorders including sleep-related areas of paediatrics, obesity, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, psychology, psychiatry and neurology.
