We are proud of our new advocates, they joined our founder @MChadwick30 at #SDU2024 where they did a great job of advocating for patient centred care in clinical practice & to include the patient voice in sleep health care training & in research design. Thank you!
.@Hyper_Sleep at the @SleepOrgANZ Sleep DownUnder conference. I have had an absolute blast with these lovely ladies. It’s been 4 days of advocacy, learning and lots of laughs at #SDU2024. Thank you Jordan, Ellen & Jana for helping me in ways you can’t even imagine.
