URGENT CALL OUT FOR VOLUNTEERS
The current treasurer of our patients’ association, Martin Doig, announced his resignation at the end of 2026, due to personal health reasons. Martin will be an enormous loss to LSAPA, he has been a vital member of our committee for many years.
Without Martin, the charity will struggle to operate and will be at risk of closure. Please can you help?
The position involves some light computer work using mostly Excel and Word, posting out of our patient magazine, banking of monies received and payment of bills.
The slightly busier time is towards the end of the year and then leading up to our annual Information Day in March.
If you are interested in this voluntary role and wish to discuss it in more detail, please contact us using the contact form on this website.
Full training and guidance will be provided by Martin.

As a local patients’ association, we are seeing complaint after complaint about unacceptable delays in accessing the Sleep Service at the Leicester General Hospital. Phone calls and emails go unanswered, and waiting times for appointments are far too long. For a service that provides essential medical care, this lack of access is deeply concerning.
Sleep apnoea is not a minor inconvenience. It can severely affect physical and mental health, increase the risk of road and workplace accidents, and contribute to life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical. Yet persistent underfunding has led to excessive waiting times and limited access to essential equipment, leaving many without the urgent care that they need.
We call on University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust to recognise the urgency of this issue and take immediate action to provide the necessary funding and resources. Sign this petition to demand meaningful change and ensure that no one is left waiting for the care they need.
