Many patients presenting to neurology either have primary sleep disorders or suffer from sleep comorbidity. Knowledge on the diagnosis, differential diagnostic considerations, and management of these disorders is therefore mandatory for the general neurologist. This comprehensive course may serve to fulfill part of the preparation requirements for trainees seeking to complete the Royal College Examinations in Neurology. This training course is for R4 and R5 residents in Canadian neurology training programs as well as neurologists.

The speakers will outline how neurologists in Bristol have been research-active during the COVID-19 pandemic including our contribution to national and international surveillance programmes as well as initiating research studies such as an evaluation of the impact of COVID anxiety on sleep and neurodegeneration and determining whether vascular changes in the eye predict COVID-19 severity.
