The Sleep Health Clinical Academic Group brings together clinicians, researchers, and consumers to drive innovation and improve care through collaborative, translational research.
Healthy sleep is important for cognitive functioning, mood, mental health, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and metabolic health. The recent Federal Parliamentary Inquiry into Sleep Health (2019) recommended that the Australian Government make sleep health a national priority and recognise its importance to health and wellbeing alongside fitness and nutrition.
We need sleep health translational research driven at the hospital clinician and community level widely across SHP. Through the distinct Sleep Health Clinical Academic Group, we are leveraging existing research expertise to build collaborations amongst many clinicians in SHP and other academic health centres.
