Treatment predominantly for Adults or Children 16 years and above with parents in attendance.

Referrals to the CFC are via GP e-referrals (to UCLH; neurology inbasket; facial rehabilitation) or consultant referral via EPIC or letter).

All initial assessments in the CFC are face to face. Some follow ups are done remotely depending on the patient needs and clinic requirements.

Patients can access botulinum toxin only if they are receiving facial therapy and are referred into the clinic via the CFC clinicians.

All facial palsy patients accepted including: neuromuscular – service any FSHD and OPMD patients, all surgical, all GP referrals and all bilateral GBS/MF patients.

Just started seeing more hemi-facial spasm patients on request of the neurosurgeons as there was not previously a pathway for this population.
