The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital (the RNTNEH) is a specialist otolaryngologic hospital located on the Gray's Inn Road in London, United Kingdom and a part of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Established in 1874, its motto is Audient surdi mutique loquentur (the deaf shall hear and the mute shall speak).[1]
The hospital specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose and throat disorders. Departments within the hospital include an allergy clinic, rhinology and audiology/otology, and it treats a range of disorders including cancers, hearing and speech disorders, snoring and related sleep disorders.
In April 2012, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust took over management of the hospital from the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust.[2]
