Consultant geriatrician · Sheffield
Private consultant geriatrician and memory specialist in Sheffield
I’m Dr Pravin Jha, a consultant geriatrician and specialist physician. I assess older adults privately at Spire Claremont Hospital, Circle Thornbury Hospital and LivingCare in Sheffield, at home, or by video anywhere in the UK. I look at the whole person, not one symptom: memory, mood, medicines, mobility, falls and physical health, together. You don’t need a GP referral, and I can usually see you within 24–48 hours.

Why a geriatrician
One assessment that looks at everything, not one symptom at a time
Many clinics look at a single problem, such as memory. In later life, problems rarely come alone. A change in memory may be driven by medicines, low mood, poor sleep, hearing loss, infection or small strokes. Falls may come from blood pressure, heart rhythm, weak bones, eyesight or medicines.
A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment brings these together. I review each area, find what is contributing, and agree one plan with you and your family, so treatments don’t work against each other.
- Memory and thinking
- Mood, anxiety and sleep
- Medicines and side effects
- Mobility, balance and falls
- Heart, blood pressure and stroke risk
- Bone health and fracture risk
- Daily living and independence
- Family and carer concerns

About me
Why patients and families come to me
I’m a consultant geriatrician and specialist physician at Rotherham General Hospital and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, with more than 20 years’ experience caring for older people. I have examined for the MRCP clinical examination (PACES) for around ten years.
In my private practice I give each person the time a complex picture needs. I explain what I find in plain language, involve the family where you would like me to, and write to your GP so that the plan continues after you leave.
