Scrivens wins 100th NHS hearing contract

Scrivens has won its 100^th NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) contract to help people with hearing loss.

The Burslem practice in Stoke-on-trent will now provide free NHS hearing assessments, hearing aids and all aftercare for adult patients thanks to the milestone contract.

Director Mark Georgevic said: ‘Scrivens has campaigned for over 50 years to make NHS hearing care as accessible as eye care. It is an important achievement for us and one we believe will improve care locally and offer more choice with appointments to suit patients’ lifestyles.’

Scrivens was awarded its first CCG contract for NHS adult hearing services back in October 2012 and has been signed up by a further 24 CCGs in the last 12 months.
