#449: 9.2 Million People Can't Sleep... and the NHS Isn't Ready | Dr Tom Chambers, Theta Sleep
The Healthtech Podcast · 2026-06-03 · 1h 4m
Episode notes
This week, James is joined by Dr Tom Chambers, anaesthetist and Co-founder & Chief Medical Officer of Theta Sleep, to unpack why an estimated 9.2 million people in the UK are living with undiagnosed sleep apnoea. They get into why sleep medicine is so fragmented, why CPAP has an image problem, and how shifting diagnosis and treatment into the home could fix a supply-and-demand crisis the NHS isn't built for. A candid look at building a clinical business while still working as an NHS doctor.
