Non-urgent advice: Service provision review
We are reviewing our service provision in order to focus our care at the points of greatest need. New technology has the potential to make the ways you can engage with us easier and more streamlined. We will be communicating more about what this is in the year ahead and what it will mean for your ongoing care.
In the meantime, please do contact us if there are any problems or concerns with yours and / or your child’s hearing and appointments can be offered as required.
Prior to the appointment being offered, please make sure that all equipment has been checked for faults. If you find any issues, cochlear implant users should contact the cochlear implant company, and bone conduction and middle ear implant users should contact the Emmeline Centre equipment team.
