Primary Care Trust (NHS) Funding
When you approach your GP about your hair loss situation they will advise on what you may be able to do to either prevent further hair loss or encourage regrowth. There are many types of female hair loss and for some clients with a temporary type of hair loss then it may be possible for your hair to regrow. For others, it may be something you need to manage long term.
If you were considering using the Intralace System to help manage your hair loss then you may be able to get NHS funding towards the upkeep of the system. Lucinda Ellery currently have approx 26 clients who receive funding from the NHS. Funding needs to be applied for through your GP and an initial consultation with Lucinda Ellery is required before your GP is able to do this. It is fair to say that applying for funding can be long winded and difficult and although many clients have their application turned down, there are some clients who have the funding granted.
We are often asked if clients with certain hair loss types are more likely to be accepted for funding but there is no real pattern. The Primary Care Trust tend to assess if they feel the client has exceptional circumstances.
As mentioned previously an initial consultation is required with Lucinda Ellery before you can explore the NHS funding route with a view to using the Intralace System.
