Thank you to for kindly inviting me to teach a webinar on dermatology last week. It was a first for me, and fun to share my knowledge and experience of dermatology through a school nursing perspective. I met some lovely nurses, working in a variety of school settings which led to really interesting questions and collaborative discussion; highlighting the unique challenges school nursing presents.

As an NMC registered Nurse and CQC regulated provider you can be confident my credentials are valid. There are costs for me which come with being able to say this, which is why most nurses and medical professionals are unable to compete with the low prices non registered practitioners offer. Sadly, in some cases, you get what you pay for. Do your research!

Experts and industry professionals are calling for tougher regulations to safeguard patients.

olive oil spray available to buy for £5

Why use olive oil in your ears?
- to prepare for an ear wax removal procedure (microsuction or irrigation) not strictly necessary for microsuction but it can make the procedure more comfortable and successful
- to clear blockages (consistent twice a day oiling for two weeks should clear any blockages without any further intervention) if you have done this for 2 weeks then it is likely you need additional assistance from an ear care practitioner
- for maintenance (once you have had your ears cleared by irrigation or microsuction it can be beneficial to use olive oil drops regularly to help keep the ears clear or extend time between ear cleaning appointments)

Other ear drop preparations are available such as Otex (urea hydrogen peroxide) or Sodium bicarbonate drops. These can be beneficial on their own or to soften wax prior to irrigation but they can make the wax very sticky and more difficult to microsuction if it is required. They can also cause irritation in some people with sensitive ears.

If you have any questions or wish to make an appointment for ear assessment and treatment feel free to contact me on 07920 859486

There is no upper or lower age limit for ear wax removal however for the purposes of my CQC registration I am registered to see patients from 4 years old. A key factor to consider when treating children is that they understand and are able to stay still for the procedure to be performed safely, and this really depends on the individual child. 4 year old P was an absolute star and we managed to clear both his ears of his little wax nuggets. I can see children or in the comfort of their own home. Please contact me for more details or to book in!

One of those rogue cotton bud tips that ‘no one ever uses’ 😂 This client had been to another microsuction practitioner 4 times with a blocked ear and they had been unable to relieve her. It very quickly became clear that the blockage wasn’t just a build up of wax. Sometimes microsuction isn’t going to cut it which is why I am also trained to use micro ENT instruments such as forceps. We managed to grab hold of that bud and pull it out, much to her relief. She even took the offending item to show her neighbours!

Very proud to announce is now a CQC regulated provider. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health & social care services in England. As a Registered Nurse service provider that offers regulated activities as listed in the Health & Social Care Act 2008 (regulated activities) Regulations 2014 we must be registered with the CQC. This means we have gone through a rigorous process to demonstrate our service is
⭐️ safe
⭐️ effective
⭐️ caring

Not all ear care services are CQC regulated or even have to be, depending on who is doing the treatment. Always do your research when it comes to your health care.
