Acute Assessment Unit
About us
We are a multidisciplinary team who work collaboratively to deliver Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) care to patients. These include Consultant Surgeons, Specialty Doctors, Surgical Registrars, Specialist Registered Nurses, Specialist Audiologists and Voice Therapists.
Our service is part of the South West London ENT network. We deliver outpatient, day surgery and some inpatient surgery to treat problems with ears, nose (including sinuses), throat, head and neck.
We strive to make our service patient-focused and high quality, efficient and with short waiting times. Among the issues we treat are:
- Ear: hearing loss, dizziness, inflammation, perforated eardrums
- Nose: sinuses, infections, allergies, inflammation, smell disorders
- Facial deformity and trauma
- Throat: persistent hoarseness
We also carry out specialist ENT procedures such as the fitting of bone-anchored hearing aids and balloon sinuplasty to treat sinusitis.
If you are new to our service, we recommend you are referred as soon as possible. GPs can refer patients to us using the NHS e-Referral system.
