I recently visited the Audiology Dept where I have received respectful & informed professional NHS care for my hearing loss for the past 10 years. However, I was shocked to see that the department was obliged to display an advertisement & leaflets by a private hearing aid supplier !!
I think it is outrageous that the Trust allows such private medicine advertising on their premises & would counsel anyone seeing this advert to understand that most hearing losses can be adequately & satisfactorily improved by the advice & NHS hearing aids which the Audiology Dept. staff provides free of charge to eligible people.
However, the private supplier may be able to give advice on & sell audio enhancing accessories & equipment which may not be available from the Audiology Dept in the hospital.
I consider the question regarding same-sex accommodation in this review totally irrelevant in this context, so decline to answer it.
"NHS Audiology dept displays private..."
