Ear irrigation service closing

From 1^st April 2025 the ear irrigation (wax removal) service will no longer be available in GP surgeries across England. We will still see patients at both surgeries to confirm whether wax is still completely blocking the ear and to assess whether the criteria are met to be referred for microsuction with an external NHS provider. If the criteria are not met, you would need to seek an alternative private provider or continue with self care.

Please see the NHS website for further advice on self management of ear wax:
