- Dementia
- Respiratory conditions
- ENT disorders
Services we offer:
- Communication and/or swallowing assessment, diagnosis and management for inpatients at Russells Hall Hospital.
- Specialist voice services for outpatients, including a monthly joint SLT/ENT clinic.

We are committed to ensuring that our practice remains evidence-based and that our team is able to maintain, develop and enhance their skills and knowledge. Therefore, all of our team members have access to protected CPD opportunities. We also offer student work experience.
