17:30-19:00 Joint effort of the BRPT and ESST
   

An Interactive Scoring Experience Jointly presented by the European Society of Sleep Technologists and the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists
During this 90 minute session the ESST and BRPT will each briefly introduce and explain the relevance of their societies. They will then embark on a thrilling interactive journey through the scoring of Sleep Stages, Respiratory Events and Other physiological phenomena. After each interactive experience there will be a discussion eventually leading to the correct decision-making action with the aim of continuing education. Please make sure that you join us for this fun and unique event.
