Inspiration by Integration
A Discourse on Sleep-Disordered Breathing with Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry
This conference brought together the highest calibre speakers from sleep medicine, dental and surgical backgrounds to inspire discussions on a team approach to the personalised and precision management of adult Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
It offered a comprehensive overview of the full menu of options available to restore both airway structure and function for adults, to achieve greater health and wellness, as opposed to managing night-time symptoms.
There was a special emphasis of the need to recognise early warning signs of poor airway development in childhood, to intervene and minimise the disease burden.

What attendees said about Inspiration by Integration
Review the course flyer here
I am gladly writing to you with a brief endorsement of the event, “Inspiration by Integration.”
I was EXACTLY that - very inspired by seeing how things have to integrate to provide the best all around care for sleep patients.
A lot of illnesses, even COPD have now conference sessions called: “The early beginnings” or “The origin of disease”. We have looked at old patients with OSA long enough without ever asking “How did it all begin?”
The speakers were excellent and also passionate and very inspiring. They opened my eyes as to what sleep medicine is overlooking.
It was also refreshing to discuss sleep with dentists, orthodontists and surgeons. The meeting made me re-think my current practice and I will push more research and training and ultimately integration of these specialities into our practice in South Australia. I did not hold back to tell all my colleagues what they missed out on and I will hopefully bring some of them along to attend Part 2! We need “rapid expansion” to arrive in Australia.
What and amazing event. It was great to see so much open dialogue from different aspects of the dental and medical field. Hats off to Shereen Lim for bringing us all together.

Thank you Shereen for organising yet another thought provoking, engaging and educational program with such stellar presenters. Super knowledgeable, yet very approachable.
I know how much work goes into organising these events and you and your team are to be congratulated for your accomplishments. A truly enjoyable experience. Congratulations!
Thank you Shereen for organising this amazing event and thank you to all the speakers and everybody else who made this happen! It looks like it has definitely sparked some long needed meaningful conversations between professions.
Congrats to Shereen Lim for organising such a fantastic event with outstanding speakers. Largest gathering of cross-disciplinary professionals amongst the audience. Well done!
Congratulations Shereen! It was a fabulous lineup of speakers and attendees too. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for a wonderful 2 days of learning.
Thank you Shereen for organising such an amazing two days of extensive, intensive and exceptionally interesting interdisciplinary study of sleep medicine.
Loved it.
Thanks Shereen, it's not easy to cater for a diverse audience but you nailed it. The speakers were very engaging, a great group of attendees too. Look forward to your next one.
Loved it.
A wondrous gathering of speakers and attendees! The network born from this meeting, I believe, may be seed of real change in Australia.
An incredible conference where the many different health professionals involved in team management of airway related issues came together with great interaction. Thank you Shereen for your organisation.
Shereen Lim, congratulations on a great event. You’ve set the standard for the direction of future events in the field of airway disorders. Great talks by all the speakers and the open discussion was truly enlightening. Made a lot of new friends and hope we can work together more in the future.
Thanks for organising a great event! It’s always hard to cater to such a diverse group and I think you did that well.
What an amazing, awesome two days thanks to the tireless efforts of Shereen Lim, who is a true lionheart in my book. She got together dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, ENTs and sleep physicians to learn how we can collaborate to provide the best care for sleep apnea patients and prevent it in the first place. Absolutely inspiring weekend.
I am still on a high from the amazing event you hosted, I can’t say I’ve ever said that about any event I have been to. Thank you so much and you can definitely count me in for any future events!
Thank you for all your terrific efforts in putting this together, Shereen. It was a great collaborative meeting. I am glad I cancelled my all day operating session to be there
it clearly should be the start of something far bigger and practice more widely acknowledged and implemented clinically. Congrats again.
I really enjoyed this meeting…you did an amazing job of planning this! A HUGE success! One day in the next 3-5 years you will see your fantastic efforts to integrate these fields pay off. Just wait, it will happen.
