Contact the Cleft Lip and Palate Service

We know that there are occasions when you want to ring us to ask us a question and understand that it can be difficult to know who best to call. We have put together the following list to help you to direct your questions to the right member of the Cleft Lip and Palate Team.

If your child is acutely unwell, please seek medical attention from your family doctor (GP) or local Accident and Emergency (A&E) department. They will contact us for further information if needed.

For all members of the team below, please call main hospital number on 020 7405 9200 and enter the extension number below when prompted.

Call the Clinical Nurse Specialist team if your child is being admitted and you have questions about the operation or procedure planned. This includes questions about the operation, care afterwards and equipment. They can also advise on feeding or other health concerns. This is also the nursing team that assesses patients for specialist Cleft Lip & Palate procedures with an anaesthetic.  

Call the Admissions Coordinator if you have questions about the practical issues around a surgical admission, such as to change the date, transport, accommodation or interpreters. They can re-send admission letters and information if you have not received it. They cannot answer clinical queries about your child’s health or their planned operation or procedure.
