Referral Guidance for Professionals

We accept referrals nationwide, but most of our referrals come from the South West.

There is no minimum or maximum age of referral. Please contact the department for further advice. 

Please include the following information in the referral: 

• Up-to-date audiogram 
• History of audiological thresholds 
• Main mode of communication, including whether an interpreter is needed and which language/s 
• Hearing aid use 
• Aetiology of deafness, or investigations to date into aetiology 
• Information on any additional needs
• Patient's preferred contact details 

Additionally we accept referrals from patients who were implanted at a different hospital, but wish to have their care transferred to our centre. As a minimum, we require the name of the hospital implant centre they have come from and the type of implant device they have.
