The Adult Speech Language Therapy team is involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of difficulties with communication and swallowing in people over the age of 16.
Communication and swallowing problems usually occur from these conditions.

If you have concerns about communication or swallowing, please contact your healthcare provider for a referral to the Speech Language Therapy Service.
Referrals for voice therapy must come from an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.
