The Newcastle sleep service is an integrated service based at the Freeman Hospital.
It is run by a team of consultant respiratory physicians and consultant neurologists. In addition, there are specialist nurses, a prescribing pharmacist and clinical physiologists with expertise and experience in managing a wide range of sleep disorders.
We have close links with the paediatric sleep service and the North East Assisted Ventilation Service (NEAVS).
We care for patients who have suspected or diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS).
In addition, we also care for patients with other sleep conditions such as narcolepsy, parasomnia, insomnia and restless legs syndrome.
As the largest provider of this service for the North East of England, we care for patients throughout the region.
For any questions or queries about CPAP, patients can call 0191 213 7780 Monday to Friday – 9am – 5pm.
Our sleep service facilities
We have purpose-built facilities for comprehensive in-patient sleep measuring. We may be able to diagnose your sleep condition at home.
The specialist you see will be able to advise on which test is best for you.
