Maxillofacial surgery
One of the busiest in the UK, the QVH maxillofacial surgery department has nine consultant surgeons supported by surgical staff, specialist nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists and is based in a new modular building on the East Grinstead site.
Our maxillofacial consultant surgeons have a number of interests in the sub-specialisms of their services including head and neck cancer, orthognathic surgery, trauma, salivary glands and surgical dermatology. The service is also provided across a widely distributed network hosted in acute trusts and community hospitals.
Our Macmillan Head and Neck Clinical Nurse Specialist, Pauline Mortimer, acts as a point of contact for patients, relatives, carers and other healthcare professionals and coordinates care and psychological support for patients receiving treatment for head, neck and thyroid cancer at QVH.
