Seasons Greetings
We Support
Riley - Hearing Dog in Training.
Riley has now passed his One Star Award. This means he has mastered the basic cues and knows how to play nicely with both humans and furry pals. Clever Riley is now working hard towards his Two Star where he is learning how to walk well on the lead and come running back when called.
Elliott is a source of great pride and came 13th at Oulton Park circuit. Thruxton next. Come On!
Thank You James McGuigan for inviting us to a brilliant day in memory of Gary Speed, Daniel Yorath and Elliott Bransby, with funds raised for Andy Mans Club, Leeds (talking groups for men), and The Disabilty Trust (helping people live independent lives) Congratulations to Team Speed and Team Yorath. We all had an Amazing Day.
Proud to live and work in Wakefield.
Over 70% of the Wakefield District is rural. The wonderful Waterton Park (below) is five minutes from our clinic. Along with other beautiful places like Ryhill Nature Reserve, Walton Nature Park, Newmillerdam, Nostell Priory and Pugneys Water Park, to name a few. If you prefer the City Centre you can be on Trinity Walk gazing at the amazing Wakefield Cathedral in around fifteen minutes.
Festival Season
With numerous festivals happening across the country every Summer, it’s good to think about how best to protect yourself (and loved ones) from tinnitus - namely if you're heading out to a live event where it's likely to be loud.
Starkey Cares
Well Done Starkey - Amazing Work.
'At Starkey, caring is our core value and we are delighted to show our caring support at this week’s Special Olympics in Berlin. 83% of the 30,000 Special Olympians who have difficult hearing have not had a hearing test. Starkey Partnership will change that and give the gift of hearing to these wonderful athletes'.
