Geriatric Medicine

Geriatricians are internal medicine specialists who focus on providing comprehensive and holistic health care to older people. The consultation can be provided in a clinic setting or on a visit to a residential care facility.

We are experienced in the diagnosis and management of age related conditions, including:

• memory loss and dementia
• depression, and other psychiatric disorder of the elderly
• BPSD (behavioural and psychological symptom of dementia)
• capacity assessment, including testamentary capacity
• falls and balance and gait disorder
• rehabilitation post surgery
• osteoporosis
• cardiovascular disease of the elderly
• advanced care planning
• palliative care

Patients over the age of 65 with complex medical problems who are referred by their General Practitioners are eligible for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)

General Practitioners who wish to refer patients for a home visit or residential care visits may contact our Reception staff directly on 0390206188
