We would like to let you know that ear syringing (also known as ear irrigation) is no longer commissioned by the NHS, and therefore we are sadly unable to continue to offer this service at our practice.

Why this has changed:

* Safety concerns: Syringing is no longer recommended due to risks like ear canal damage, infections, and even perforation of the eardrum. NICE guidance advises against its use in general practice

* Commissioning decisions: Local NHS funding has shifted away from routine ear syringing. While some providers might still offer microsuction under strict eligibility, most cases now require private referral

What you can do now:

1. Self-care: Use wax-softening drops or olive oil for 1-2 weeks. Most cases improve without further intervention

2. Private microsuction: This is the safer and more precise method compared to syringing: it uses a gentle vacuum under direct vision, avoiding the use of water and reducing the risk of complications. Many reputable clinics, offer microsuction for around £50-£90

We understand this may be inconvenient, but this change reflects current clinical guidelines and ensures your safety. Thank you for your understanding.
