Microsuction involves a microscope and small suction machine to remove debris from the ear canal. This debris can block the ear, making it difficult to hear, or may become infected. In some patients washing out the ears (syringing), is not appropriate and therefore microsuction is an alternative treatment.

The procedure is noisy and can occasionally cause some mild discomfort, but is a safe procedure which helps to remove wax blockages and can treat infections. More severe or recurrent ear infections will often benefit from microsuction to remove the infected debris.

Our clinics our run by Dr Tom Whitfield, Dr Sarah McGuire and Ms Melanie Oakley.

The NHS ‘Right to Choose’ scheme allows patients to make choices about the services commissioned by NHS bodies and to increase accessibility for certain specialities, enabling you to participate fully in your own healthcare decisions.

The NHS ‘Right to Choose’ scheme allows patients a choice of one provider and does not allow the patient to be referred to multiple providers for the same specialty. It also prevents a further or re-direction of referral once this choice has been made. 

To help you make that choice you should look at all the information that is available about that provider – waiting list length, CQC Inspection reports, where and how you are seen for outpatient appointments and treatment. Waiting times change frequently as does treatment options available and new providers become available and we are not responsible for these changes.  You may get seen sooner for a diagnosis but treatment may have longer wait than another provider.  We will  process the referral based on the information at the time and have no control of the provider chosen changing their processes.

There are also exceptions where you don’t have the right to choose, these are the main ones:

•    Maternity services
•    Already been seen at a hospital
•    Cancer treatment
•    GP feels that your choice want provide the right care and treatment for you

HealthWatch have a lot of information on their website.
