1 ASSOCIATION FOR RESPIRATORY TECHNOLOGY & PHYSIOLOGY ARTP SLEEP APNOEA CONSORTIUM (ARTP SAC) FINAL VERSION JULY 2008 Constitution, Terms of Reference and Standing Orders 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Since 2004 the BTS SAC has acted as the host organisation for professional bodies, sleep diagnostics and therapeutics manufacturers, patient groups and other related organisations who are stakeholders in sleep apnoea. In 2007 BTS re-organised its structure to form Advisory Groups which have a slightly different remit from the old SAC and are smaller bodies that do not include members from outside the wider sleep apnoea community. 1.2 The BTSSAC has been an excellent example of a consortium of interested groups and has been the focus to enable the BTS Sleep Apnoea Course to be developed, the initiative for the NICE CPAP Technological Appraisal as well as other important developments in sleep apnoea services and care. It has also acted as a focus for public relations about the importance of keeping the profile of sleep apnoea high. 1.3 ARTP are keen to nurture and develop this consortium concept and would like to invite all interested parties to become members of the proposed ARTP Sleep Apnoea Consortium (ARTP SAC) which will include representatives from organisations who attended the original BTS SAC. 1.4 We would like to encourage manufacturers and suppliers of sleep apnoea diagnostics and therapeutics to sponsor the ARTP SAC so that attendance at meetings, conference calls and other administration services (agenda, minutes, travel expense processing, etc.) can be funded. ARTP Administration (EBS Ltd) will provide all these administrative services and will act as the focal point for all communications. 1.5 One important goal of the ARTP SAC will to liaise very closely with the BTS SAG to ensure that there are consistent messages and direction to DH, NICE, etc. 1.6 The Terms of Reference and Standing Orders of the ARTP SAC will be very similar to those of the original BTS SAC and the same funding stream from Manufacturer s and Suppliers of diagnostics and therapeutic equipment. These are listed below. 1
2 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 An inaugural meeting was convened in June 2008 by the ASSOCIATION FOR RESPIRATORY TECHNOLOGY & PHYSIOLOGY (ARTP) to which representatives from a number of groups working in sleep education, training and lobbying/profileraising as well as sleep apnoea diagnostics and therapeutics and patient groups will be invited. 2.2 The aim of the meeting will be to try to continue and develop the work of the disbanded BTS Sleep Apnoea Consortium to continue to discuss whether there is merit in continuing to work together on activities related sleep apnoea to enable a better coordinated approach for the benefit of people with sleep disordered breathing. 2.3 Also at the first meeting potential members were invited to discuss and ratify this draft constitution. An outline programme of activity for the period was discussed and finalised. 3. AIMS 3.1 It is proposed that there is merit in re-establishing a Sleep Apnoea Consortium under the auspices of the ASSOCIATION FOR RESPIRATORY TECHNOLOGY & PHYSIOLOGY to develop the following areas in particular: Raising the profile of Sleep Apnoea nationally, and lobbying for improvements in funding, service provision and infrastructure linked to a strong PR Campaign aimed at key resources providers. To provide a professional body for healthcare staff (especially sleep nurses, sleep technologists and physiologists) to be represented nationally to promote training, voice workforce requirements and generally provide a forum for people responsible for delivering sleep services to share knowledge expertise and information. Supporting the delivery of the NICE CPAP Technology Appraisal that was launched in March To develop a strategy to deliver a campaign to request NICE to develop NICE Guidelines for Sleep Apnoea and Sleep disordered breathing and start the application process in summer 2008 which could take up to 3 years to come to fruition. To co-ordinate and act as a focus group for the interested parties in sleep apnoea including scientists, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, manufacturers and most importantly patients 2
3 To feed in to and co-ordinate with the BTS Sleep Advisory Group (BTSSAG) on issues which are of national importance to physicians in sleep and respiration.
