Welcome to the Department

ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgeons are trained in the management of conditions of the head and neck and upper aerodigestive tract. The problems in these areas can have a profound effect on quality of life and can be life threatening. Our aim to provide a timely diagnosis and institute appropriate management.

Services Provided

We provide a comprehensive ENT service which means that we are able to treat problems related to the ear, nose and throat in addition to cancers of the aero-digestive tract, phono-surgery, thyroid and parotid disease and facial plastic surgery. We work closely with our colleagues in radiotherapy, oncology, paediatrics, speech and language therapy, anaesthetics, ophthalmology and dermatology.
