Wig Provision
Wig Provision for Patients
We understand that dealing with health conditions or treatments that cause hair loss can be challenging and sometimes distressing. It may be that you wish to consider the option of a wig to help you feel more comfortable and confident. Here’s some information that may be useful:
Referral Process
If you require a wig, your healthcare team, which includes your medical team, treatment nurse or specialist nurse, can make a referral for you. Please reach out to them, and they will explain the process and what you should expect.
Wig Fittings
When the current provider receives your referral they must contact you to let you know it has been received. They can offer you a consultation appointment at that time. Any queries with the appointment times agreed should be directed to the wig provider. There is a clinic in Ballymoney or Belfast.
