Our Emergency Department is very busy right now and some people are experiencing long waits. If you do not require emergency care, please use an alternative such as 111 online.
The department consists of 5 full time consultants working in Geriatric Medicine. We boast a well equipped Acute Rehabilitation Unit which has specialist rehabilitation services for Parkinson’s, continence, one stop falls & a frailty service. The department also has specialist nurse-run clinics.
All of our consultants are available for consultation about clinical problems that affect older people. We provide comprehensive assessment and use a multidisciplinary approach for patients, providing assessment for those experiencing problems with:
- continence
- mobility and movement
- frailty
- fractures
- bone fragility
- stroke
- Parkinson’s
We can provide assessment and advice in complex areas of care involving assessment of co-morbidity, including cognitive decline and issues of mental capacity.
