About this Event
Abstract
Join us for this year’s Voice Clinic Forum, a full day dedicated to the complex and often challenging world of Persistent Throat Symptoms.
Leading clinicians and voice specialists will explore a wide range of contributing conditions—from nasal and sinus issues to gastroesophageal disorders—offering up‑to‑date insights and practical clinical perspectives.
The programme also delves into the assessment and management of difficult presentations such as chronic cough, persistent throat pain, and other hard‑to‑treat symptoms, all through a multidisciplinary lens.
We’ll wrap up the day with a dynamic, case‑based session led by an experienced multidisciplinary voice team, bringing real‑world scenarios to life.
