The Royal Berkshire Hospital provides
both elective and emergency ENT care for the surrounding
population. We run satellite clinics in Newbury,
Wallingford and Henley. Specialised paediatric clinics take
place monthly in Newbury.
All subspecialties excepting those
requiring neurosurgical support are available.
The General Adult/Paediatric clinics, Acute
Referral Clinic (ARC), Ear Care Clinic (ECC), and Rapid Access Neck
Lump Clinic are directly accessible by GPs. The Otology, Thyroid
and Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Head and Neck Oncology clinics
receive referral from other consultants within the hospital.
The department provides an integrated approach
to head and neck care by working closely with other health
professionals such as radiologists, clinical oncologists,
ophthalmologists, speech therapists, dieticians, audiologists
and nurse specialists.
The unit maintains a high standard of clinical
governance and clinical excellence with members of the consultant
team involved with national organisations such as the British
Association of Otolaryngologists/Head and Neck Surgeons and the
Royal College of Surgeons of England.
We do not offer a walk in casualty service or
accept self referrals from patients.
