If you live in Halton, your Audiology appointment may be at the new Halton Health Hub at Runcorn Shopping City.
The Hub has NHS signage and is a short walk from Car Park 3, which has ample disabled parking bays and is free of charge.
When you arrive, you will find that the front windows are fully frosted, so passers by cannot see people in the waiting area. The reception desk is set back from the front doors. All of our treatment rooms are fully private.
If you already have NHS hearing aids, please remember to bring them to your appointment.
Services will continue as normal at the Warrington Hospital and Halton Hospital sites and any patients attending Warrington clinics will not be affected by this change.
