Abstract
The practice of sleep medicine in the UK has made considerable progress over the past 3 decades. This has been driven by the invention of CPAP and the development of OSA services, but other factors related to National Health Service innovations and healthcare professional developments have also been important. Key challenges remain in service provision, education and research, and in resolving regional equalities in access to care.
