It was really powerful to see journalist Sarah Vine ()talk so openly about her experience of hair loss in this interview on ITV’s . ❤️👏

She’s a national newspaper columnist and has spent many decades in the public eye – always wearing a hair piece. She’s decided to show the world what she looks like without it and to talk candidly about why she’s seeking treatment for her particular form of hair loss, known as Female Pattern Hair Loss.

It’s great to see Sarah Vine normalising this condition, especially on such a popular TV programme. It’s something which affects so many women – around 35% – particularly after menopause.💫

We understand how distressing it can be, and how it can have a huge emotional impact. If you are experiencing hair thinning or shedding during perimenopause or menopause, it’s good to know there’s a lot that can be done to prevent further hair loss and improve the density and volume of your hair.

Our Consultant Dermatologist, Nicola Clayton, is a leading specialist in women’s hair loss and has experienced it herself.

Our Consultant ENT specialist Ms Romana Kuchai discusses glue ear, and how we can help if your child is experiencing problems.

Glue ear is one of the most common reasons for hearing loss in children. Luckily, it usually resolves itself, but it’s essential that it is diagnosed and carefully monitored.

If untreated, glue ear can cause temporary hearing loss, which can then affect your child’s speech and learning development, so it’s always a good idea to seek help if you are concerned.

Here at the Medical Chambers we have a team of specialists who are highly experienced in treating glue ear. They can provide the following:

- Clinical audiologists to carry out hearing tests
- Tympanometry
- Highly skilled Consultant ENT team to monitor and treat the condition
- Non-surgical management
- Routine surgery if needed
