Our aim is to provide a high quality, specialist service for adults with acquired communication and swallowing difficulties.
We assess and treat individuals with speech, language, voice and swallowing disorders; working closely with a range of other professions and agencies.
Speech and language therapists work with a wide range of clients. This can include adults with communication and/or swallowing problems following an acquired illness (stroke) or a progressive illness (Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, dementia), critical care, palliative care, voice problems, head and neck cancer, and stammering.
Yes – there is open referral for communication problems. Swallowing problems need to be referred by a doctor.
Opening Times
Normal hours are between 8:30am and 5:00pm, depending on the clinics.
You should allow approximately one hour for your first appointment. Your speech and language therapist will assess the nature of the difficulty and discuss the findings, when treatment will begin (if appropriate), or when a review is needed.
Treatment may be offered on an individual or group basis.
If therapy is appropriate it is usually offered in a block (approximately 6-8 sessions). At the end of a course of therapy a joint decision will be made with you regarding further treatment, review or discharge.
You are welcome to bring a relative or friend along with you if you wish.
