North Thames Regional Cleft Lip and Palate Service

The North Thames Regional Cleft Lip and Palate Service also known as the North Thames Cleft Centre is responsible for treating children and adult patients with clefts of the lip and palate the North Thames region. This includes North London, Essex and South and West Hertfordshire.

This service is run jointly by the world-renowned St Andrew's Centre, Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford and Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.

In 1995, the number of centres in England and Wales offering treatment for clefts was reduced from around fifty to thirteen. This means the specialist teams at the thirteen centres are now treating more patients with clefts per year and as a result are able to offer a better service to their patients and families.

Research

The North Thames Cleft Team have been involved in extensive interdisciplinary research and have many ongoing projects.

    gollark: I suspect it is in fact some sort of accursed BIOS-specific blob.
    gollark: Hmm, so it's nonvolatile and accessible to things and then contains arbitrary headers.
    gollark: Well, I don't care enough.
    gollark: > Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing, either by blocking all read/write access to the flash chip or by crashing (it may power off the machine or mess with the battery or cause system instability). Fascinating.
