Welcome to the British Cochlear Implant Group
BCIG is a unique group of health care professionals and other interested parties in cochlear implant provision in the UK. The BCIG believes that if a patient meets the criteria for a cochlear implant as specified in the NICE Guidance, funding for that treatment must be provided by the appropriate healthcare commissioning body following a positive assessment by the specialist cochlear implant centre.
