Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Care

About ENT services

In the UK, we have access to some of the best ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists worldwide. Many ENT practices offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical treatments managed by specialists and general medical practitioners. These treatments range from physical examinations to advanced, complex procedures such as endoscopic sinus surgery.

To ensure that all patients can access these services efficiently and effectively, many ENT surgeries provide private clinics with access to modern technology, emergency units, and audiology tests. Some ENT clinicians work within hospitals or alongside general practitioners to offer more specialised acute care services if needed. For those who require ENT treatment in the UK, there is a vast range of accessible resources available for quality care.

ENT conditions and treatments

ENT conditions can range from hearing impairment or hoarseness of voice to inhaling a foreign object or severe infection. ENT specialists in the UK strive to provide excellent patient care while helping patients maintain their physical well-being.

With an understanding of how ears, noses and throats need an optimal environment to operate correctly, they also understand that these parts are interlinked and connected to other body areas. This makes them knowledgeable and experienced when tackling any issue related to ENT treatment.

Whether through medication, therapy or surgery, specialists offer comprehensive service combined with efficiency so that everyone can access quality healthcare services without waiting too long for a diagnosis or treatment.

Common ENT conditions

Common conditions of the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) amongst the UK population are quite varied, with some being more prevalent than others.

  • The most common ENT condition is earwax build-up, which affects 1 in 15 people and can cause temporary hearing loss, itching and a feeling of fullness in the ears. If you think you may suffer from ear wax build-up, you can take advantage of our Ear Wax Removal Service at Midway Pharmacy.

  • Hay Fever is also commonplace, with an estimated 10 million sufferers in the UK, triggered by pollen or other airborne allergens.

  • Hearing loss is another widespread problem among adults over 55, but treatments such as hearing aids and cochlear implants can help those affected live their everyday lives more comfortably.

  • Throat infections are also common in children and adults and require careful management through lifestyle modifications such as adequate rest or antibiotics to avoid long-term chronic problems such as tonsillitis.

  • Finally, sinusitis - inflammation of the sinuses - affects around 7% of the population at any given time, which causes facial pain, fatigue or breathing difficulties that can cause significant disruption to daily life.

While these conditions hold varying degrees of severity and can affect people differently, awareness and diagnosis remain key when considering treatment options.
