Title - Help for you following bereavement - Information Booklet
Description - We understand that this will be a very anxious time for you and the Trust would like to offer you our support at this time. The news that someone close to you is poorly enough to die or has died can often be overwhelming. You will find there are many things that you will have to organise and you may feel a mixture of emotions which may at first be unfamiliar and out of character. - Bevan Court

Description - The parotid gland is a large salivary gland located under the skin in front of your ear. It produces saliva and empties into your mouth especially when you are eating. The facial nerve runs through the parotid gland. A parotidectomy is an operation that removes part, or all, of the gland. The nerves supplying the skin of your ear are cut and so it is normal to have varying amounts of numbness to the ear that could be permanent.Title - Mersey Burn Centre Ward 4D
