What still presents urgently to ENT during a pandemic -- Experience of
an ENT rapid access clinic during COVID-19
Abstract
• Telephone consultations are effective in mild epistaxis and nasal
trauma • Telephone follow-ups can save hospital attendances particularly
in peritonsillar abscess and certain cases of otitis externa • Otitis
externa and foreign bodies tend to require face-to-face consultations •
Otitis externa was the most common reason for semi-urgent ENT
consultation whilst social restrictions were in place
