About the Report

The management and delivery of ear care was identified by a network of nurses working in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) departments and in primary care as an area in which inconsistencies in practice exist. Uncertainties over best practice are compounded by the lack of research evidence and range of opinion relating to the delivery of care in this area. The aim of this statement is to offer guidance to nursing staff with responsibility for various aspects of ear care.
