Synthetic wigs are created from man-made fibres, last for six to nine months and are ideal for short term use such as hair loss during treatment. They are available in multiple styles, lengths and colours.
Provision of Wigs in NHS Forth Valley
In NHS Scotland, provision of wigs is free when undergoing treatment.
Before commencing treatment you will be provided with this information sheet. A referral will be made to the orthotic department based at Stirling Community Hospital who will liaise between the wig supplier and yourself. This ensures the company receives an official order from the NHS prior to you attending with a commitment to pay ensuring no delay in supply.
The department will ring you within a few days of receiving the referral and introduce themselves then ask where you would like to attend for your wig provision.
We have several companies in Scotland who contract to provide wigs and they have central offices and local agents. The agents based in local hairdressers will hold a small stock for you to try but can also order in specially if required.
