Welcome to BCIG

“The BCIG believes that if a patient meets the criteria for a cochlear implant as specified in the NICE Guidance, funding for that treatment must be provided by the appropriate healthcare commissioning body following a positive assessment by the specialist cochlear implant centre.”

Cochlear Implants have been developed to provide hearing for the profoundly deaf. The procedure is well established and suitable fo both paediatric and adult patients alike.

The British Cochlear Implant Group is a professional body representing all the Cochlear Implant Centres and other specialist medical practitioners throughout the United Kingdom.
