Ear, nose and throat (ENT) symptoms are frequently encountered in community settings, particularly among older adults, children and those with chronic conditions.

This series provides practical guidance to support health professionals to manage common otological presentations independently, facilitating early recognition of red flags, appropriate referral and evidence-based management.
