Wig Fitting Service at the Fern Centre

(as the patient),

Being able to come to the Centre and look at a variety of wigs was a real confidence boost! The ladies took time to help me feel at ease and offered advice when asked and were really helpful.

It is so good to have this facility in the same location as the Seamoor Unit, and being able to get a referral.

Hi The Phoenix

It is so lovely to receive such a positive response for the wig service and good to know that it has boosted your confidence- it is so important that we are able to offer this service in North Devon.

The ladies from Natural Image, who come to the Fern Centre from Exeter, are really kind and we are lucky to have them. I noticed that you were all having a bit of a laugh during your fitting, I am sure it can't all have been about the wigs!

You may want to try some scarf tying which is part of the Hair Loss Information Event on 28th April - Suburban Turban are doing a demo via MS Teams - a cool summer alternative to wearing a wig.

If you would like to have a copy of the Fern Centre newsletter sent to you, so that you can find out more about what's on, or register for an event, then please email ndht.theferncentre@nhs.net or call 01271 311855

Best wishes

Holly
