Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Driving with Dr Swapna Mandal
Q: What should patients know about the DVLA reporting requirements for sleep apnea?
Patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea with excessive daytime sleepiness must report to the DVLA. The process is now streamlined with a single form and a filter question about daytime sleepiness, designed to avoid unnecessary forms and to focus on those whose sleepiness affects driving, thereby supporting patients to remain employed where possible.
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Driving with Dr Swapna Mandal
Q: How do patients get follow-up after starting CPAP, and how has the group education approach impacted care?
Follow-up typically involves early data checks from modem-connected devices, with a mix of telephone contacts and in-person or group follow-ups. Group CPAP education has expanded post-pandemic from small groups to large sessions, improving peer support, reducing fear and increasing engagement, and allowing broader education on device use and troubleshooting.
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Driving with Dr Swapna Mandal
Q: Can you give us a bit of a rundown of where we are with obstructive sleep apnea and the diagnosis pathway for patients?
Diagnosis often starts with GP referrals and triage for appropriate testing. Some patients may use home wearable devices or move to multi-channel polygraphy for more detailed information, while others go straight to treatment if the clinical picture is clear. The pathway aims to reduce wait times and streamline the process, with a shift toward diagnosing based on symptoms like excessive daytime sleepiness rather than the label of sleep apnea alone.
Dr Nazia Chaudhuri talks ILD with Professor Robin Condliffe
Q: Could you summarize the latest drug developments and what the timeline might look like for broad access to new therapies?
Nerandimilast and nebulized Teprostenol are the main candidates, with combination approaches likely in the future. Access hinges on NICE approvals and timeliness of regulatory processes, with full uptake expected in the 2026-2027 window.
Dr Nazia Chaudhuri talks ILD with Professor Robin Condliffe
Q: Are there any changes to how ILD centers are set up or delivered care in the UK, and what challenges are you seeing with referrals and patient access?
There is a move toward closer-to-home care with tier-two centers that can prescribe antifibrotics, supported by regional MDTs and a national registry, but bottlenecks remain due to increasing referrals from new drug approvals and screening initiatives.
