The Danish Obstructive Sleep Apnea Symposium 2023
The Danish ENT Academy is delighted to host the Danish Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Symposium 2023. The Symposium is being held on the 5th and 6th of October 2023 at the Comwell Køge Strand Hotel, Strandvejen 111, 4600 Køge, Denmark.
We welcome you all, both presenters and delegates to this exciting scientific program, translating new basic knowledge to clinical practice focusing on new diagnostic and therapeutic options in the management of OSA.
We have a great line up of speakers, both Danish and International. There is included a poster section, and we encourage submissions to this research presentation platform.
We trust this will provide fruitful and productive discussion for all our sleep apnea colleagues, both doctors and nurses. The language of the Symposium is English.
We welcome you to the Symposium, to Køge and to Denmark.
