Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS) has delivered its first “When Sleep Goes Wrong” training event on 8 November 2025 at the University of Kent.
The one-day programme brought together leading experts in psychology, neuroscience, and sleep medicine to discuss insomnia and complex sleep disorders, equipping healthcare professionals with practical skills to improve patient care.
Hosted in the Pears Building, the event featured sessions on the science of normal sleep, the diagnosis and treatment of chronic insomnia, the role of wearable technologies in sleep tracking, and rare sleep disorders. Faculty included Professor Sukhi Shergill, KMMS’s Director of Research, alongside other specialists from KMMS, Canterbury Christ Church University, University of Kent, and Queen Victoria Hospital’s Sleep Disorders Centre.
Professsor Shergill said:
“Sleep disorders are a growing public health challenge. By combining science, technology, and clinical expertise, this programme helps clinicians deliver better care for patients struggling with insomnia and other complex conditions,”
Feedback from attendees highlighted the value of the event’s large variety of discussions and topics covered. Many praised the opportunity to learn directly from experts and enjoyed the balance of practical applications and theory that they could incorporate into their own healthcare practice.
“One of the best learning events I have attended in a long time”
Following the success of November’s programme, KMMS is pleased to announce that the next “When Sleep Goes Wrong” training event will take place on Saturday 14 March 2026 at the University of Kent, Canterbury.
