Aim
The pilot will evaluate the use of the TympaHealth Platform in community pharmacy to improve access to ENT services.

• Determine whether GP referral to pharmacies using a hearing healthcare platform is a cost
effective pathway for managing hearing loss, compared to the current pathway [secondary
care pathway]
• Evaluate the impact of a hearing healthcare platform on ENT waiting lists in secondary care
and on patient experience
• Gather evidence to inform a future business case for wider adoption
