These are the guides I most often hand to families in clinic, written in plain language and free for anyone to use. Each has its own page explaining what it covers, so you can check it is the right one before downloading.

Sleep apnoea in children

The signs most parents miss — morning headaches, new bedwetting, concentration problems mistaken for ADHD — plus why Dubai's climate makes childhood sleep apnoea more common, and how sleep studies and treatment work. Read more or download →

Flexible bronchoscopy — parent guide
