The aims of the Sleep Working Group are:

• to foster a greater awareness of Sleep Medicine amongst UK Psychiatrists
• to emphasis the importance of Sleep Medicine in psychiatric practice
• to encourage psychiatrists to contribute to the field of Sleep Medicine.

Specific projects that we are currently involved in include:

• Curriculum development: we have produced a detailed syllabus that identifies the aspects of Sleep Medicine that trainees should be familiar with at each stage of their training.

• Educational symposia: arranging Sleep Medicine symposia at Royal College Conferences.

• CPD: the group is generating CPD modules and other educational resources for trainee, career grade and consultant psychiatrists.

• Guidelines: developing guidelines on good practice for psychiatrists treating sleep disorders.

• Collaboration: encouraging closer links with other Sleep Medicine organisations, particularly the British Sleep Society.
