my expertise
What does a private geriatrician do in Sheffield, Yorkshire?
A geriatrician is a specialist doctor for older adults who assesses memory problems, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/TIA, falls, dizziness, frailty and complex medical conditions.
Unlike single-condition clinics, a geriatrician evaluates the whole person — including physical health, cognition, medications, mobility and independence — to provide a clear diagnosis and personalised care plan.
Services
What I assess and treat?
I provide specialist Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) for:
- Memory problems and suspected dementia
- Parkinson’s disease and tremor
- Dizziness and balance disorders
- Falls and mobility issues
- Stroke and TIA recovery
- Medication-related problems
- Frailty and functional decline
👉 Many patients referred for “memory problems” have treatable medical or medication-related causes.
CONSULTANT LED CARE FOR COMPLEX CASES
Why see a Geriatrician in Sheffield?
Older adults often have multiple interacting health issues. A Consultant Geriatrician specialises in assessing and managing complex health problems in older adults, including memory loss, falls, frailty, and multiple medical conditions.
A specialist geriatric assessment:
- Identifies the underlying cause, not just symptoms
- Avoids misdiagnosis of dementia or “normal ageing”
- Reviews medications safely and reduces unnecessary drugs
- Assesses mobility, falls risk, and functional ability
- Integrates physical health, cognition, and social factors
- Provides a clear, personalised care plan
The aim is to provide a holistic, personalised care plan that improves safety, independence, and quality of life.
👉 The key difference
Many services focus on a single issue such as memory. A geriatric assessment ensures that all contributing factors are identified and managed together, leading to a more accurate diagnosis and better outcomes.
CONSULTANT LED CARE FOR COMPLEX CASES
Why choose private geriatrician assessment?
- More time — typically 60+ minutes
- Continuity — seen by the same consultant
- Rapid access — appointments within 24–48 hours
- Holistic approach — not limited to one condition
👉 Choosing a private geriatrician in Sheffield ensures a comprehensive, consultant-led assessment with a clear diagnosis and practical care plan.
