We have an open referral system, which means that a parent/carer or a health professional can refer your child to our service. Please complete this referral form and email it to khft.paediatricaudiology@nhs.net
You can also contact us directly to refer your child if you feel they are having problems with their hearing or need their hearing assessed.
Generally, our referrals come from health visitors, nursery nurses, nurseries, schools and GPs.
Once we have received a referral, we ask that you contact the office to arrange an appointment by calling 01483 362 619 or emailing khft.paediatricaudiology@nhs.net.
We aim to see all children within 6 weeks of referral but are currently experiencing very high demand for this service.
Our service works closely with the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) departments in all the local hospitals and the regional centres so referrals are made directly by the audiologists when surgery or medical treatment is being considered.
