The new facility is one of the biggest specialist centres in Europe for dental, ear, nose, throat, hearing and balance services. It has been treating patients since October 2019.
Her Majesty saw first-hand the work being carried out across the facility’s specialties, visiting the adult dental treatment floor, the paediatric treatment floor and the auditory implant centre. The Queen met patients who have benefited from the hospitals’ care and staff, including dental and ENT clinicians, who showcased the units.
On the paediatric floor, Her Majesty met children and families taking part in creative health play sessions, pictured above. These sessions are used to prepare children for treatment, often to help with pre-treatment anxiety, and to teach children about their condition. They are overseen by play specialists and nurses.
