Welcome...
Ben Hartley is a Consultant Paediatric Otolaryngologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and one of the leading specialists in the U.K.
Common children's ENT problems include tonsil problems (recurrent tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnoea) which sometimes require tonsillectomy. Blocked noses and snoring may be due to adenoids and helped by adenoidectomy. Hearing problems and recurrent ear infections in children can be related to glue ear (otitis media with effusion, serous or secretory otitis media) and may need ventilation tube (grommet) insertion. Often however no surgery is required for these conditions.
