NHS Hearing – Self-Referral vs GP referral

If you live in a self- referral area, you can now visit us for NHS Adult Hearing services without needing to visit your GP first. We can provide a full hearing assessment and fully funded NHS hearing aids, at no cost to yourself, if you have a hearing loss.

For a list of areas where you can book an appointment direct with the branch team, click here.

If you live in a GP referral area, this means that you will need to be referred by your GP before we can undertake a full hearing assessment. You can advise your GP that you want to come to Scrivens for your NHS hearing care as part of patient choice during your referral for NHS hearing services.
