Returning to the Craniofacial Service (237kB)

When can I see the Craniofacial Team?

You can re-access our service for craniofacial related care no matter how old you are.

How do you contact us once you have been discharged?

Ring the craniofacial team and explain that you are a returning adult that would like to be seen by the craniofacial team again.

In order to locate you on our system and access your records, the team member will ask you a few questions including what your name and date of birth is.

Then they may ask you why you would like to be seen by the craniofacial team. This helps us to decide if we are the best placed service to help your needs and that we book you into the most relevant clinic for your concerns.

If appropriate, you will be invited to attend an appointment with the team or a team member.

This is so we can discuss your current concerns in more detail and speak about how we might be able to help.

Why might I want to see the Craniofacial Team?

As an adult, you may want to access the craniofacial team due to:

Concerns relating to your appearance
Experiencing difficulties (e.g. speech, drinking, eating)
Requesting a referral to the genetics team

What if I move out of an area?

Please let us know if you move out of an area so we can refer you to a new craniofacial team.
