Voice Therapy Service
Welcome to the Voice Service within Adult Speech and Language Therapy. We offer telephone, video and face-to-face appointments to adults in Gloucestershire.
About the Service
You may have been referred by an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist, your GP, or speech and language therapist (SLT). This may be because you have been having some or all of these symptoms:

- A change in the sound of your voice
We give advice and/or treatment to improve the health and function of your throat and voice box.
The videos below give information and exercises to practice while waiting for an appointment.
