Welcome
Geriatrician Led Memory Clinic and Complex Care Service
I’m a Consultant Geriatrician and work at Rotherham General Hospital & Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. I run specialist private clinics at Circle Thornbury Hospital and Spire Claremont Hospital.
With over 20 years of experience, I offer in-depth, consultant-led assessments that address the full spectrum of age-related health concerns. I provide expert diagnosis and care for older adults with memory concerns and complex health needs.
My clinic delivers:
✅ Specialist memory assessments for dementia and cognitive decline
✅ Expert management of stroke, TIA, and Parkinson’s disease
✅ Diagnosis and treatment of dizziness, falls, frailty, and multimorbidity
This is a holistic, medically-grounded approach. I am trained to identify and manage these complexities in a joined-up, patient-centred way.

The process
How does it work?
As a geriatrician, my assessments aim to understand, diagnose correctly, and offer a clear, practical management plan tailored to each individual. What I offer is different:
01.
First Consultation : Hospital clinic or at Home
At the first consultation, arranged within 24 hours, I meet the patient either at home or in the clinic. I take a detailed history, including memory concerns, medical background, daily functioning, social context, and input from family or carers.
02.
Detailed Physical Examination
I conduct a structured physical and neurological examination, including cognitive screening, gait and balance assessment, frailty scoring, and systems review to inform diagnosis and holistic care planning.
03.
Cognitive test & Other Investigation
If dementia is suspected then, Full cognitive (ACEIII) and other functional tests are performed. Relevant blood tests, ECG and imaging are also requested to exclude a treatable cause and to reach a final diagnosis.
04.
Understanding the Diagnosis and Next Steps
After explaining the diagnosis clearly, I work with you and your family to create a care plan that meets your needs. We also talk about future wishes, including appointing a power of attorney and decisions about treatment preferences, to make sure your voice is heard.
Place of assessment
Where can you be seen?
After receiving a request or a referral, I will speak to you to discuss options and will help to make a choice about the place of assessment. Most of elderly patients prefer home assessment due to mobility issue. It also helps to avoid transport and parking.
Home Visit & Assessment
You can be seen at home. I will visit you as convenient and will make full assessment. I may be able to see you same day and send a report to the GP.
Hospital Consultation
You can choose to be seen at Claremont or Thornbury hospital in Sheffield. Appointment day will depend upon availability of consulting room.

We saw dr jha with my mother as we needed peace of mind after been told nothing could be done for her with her age and medical conditions, this guy looked at everything and prescribed a number of medications that would help her and explained to us what the results meant , his clear knowledge and skill put us at ease and the fact he can help and things could be done gave us hope . I would recommend this dr to anyone with a elderly relative who other drs have given up on thanks dr jha you are amazing Kathryn Wells2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent consultation. Kind and knowledgeable. Ana MacIntosh2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha has been most helpful in taking a holistic perspective of my father’s conditions and mobility issues, recommending specialist physiotherapy providers, medication trials and making improvements in his wellbeing. Cheryl Haslam2024-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha has provided a diagnosis and treatment for my mother, after she exhibited symptoms of Parkinson's disease, having been on the NHS Neurology Assessment waiting list for almost a year. I initially rang Dr Jha expecting to get through to a secretary and anticipating being added to another waiting list. However, I spoke directly to him on that Friday afternoon and on the Saturday morning, he made a house call to carry out an initial assessment. Dr Jha was very polite, compassionate and reassuring, having listened to mine and my mother's concerns. He used humour as a way to relax the whole situation and showed respect throughout all of our consultations. At the end of the initial visit, he prescribed medication which led to a visible improvement in my mother's condition, within the week that he had estimated. Through a series of regular follow up video consultations, he has monitored and adjusted her medication as necessary, and been on hand to answer any questions or clarify any points. Throughout the last 5 months, under his care, he advised my mother to stay on the NHS waiting list. Within the last week, she has finally received her NHS Neurology Assessment where the doctor agreed with the diagnosis and the course of treatment that Dr Jha has provided. I would recommend his services to anybody who is considering private consultation in his areas of expertise.

Kind Regards Dr. Muhammad Ashraf Ali mangalani nandasoma2024-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We consulted Dr Jha for my wife who had a fall resulting in a fracture of the thigh-bone He was extremely kind and evaluated the problem and advised me on the continuing care of the patient. I am very thankful to him and wish him well Nicky Welch2023-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha has been brilliant with my mum. He managed to engage her with his kind, honest, and humorous manner and got to the root of the problem straight away. I can’t recommend him enough. I feel lucky to have found him. My mum’s future is definitely brighter now. Thank you so much! Ellie Phillips2023-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very pleased to see Dr Jha - who came out to see my Mum in her home after a nasty fall. We had suspected TIA's and a postural drop but this had been more-or-less dismissed by the GP, and not only did Dr Jha confirm our suspicions, but he gave us a 360 view of what might be going on for Mum and what we should be concentrating on and asking for. Ageing is complex and currently it is difficult to get a face-to-face appointment with a GP which would cover all of the issues going on. I recommend Dr Jha's service; he takes his time and is able to highlight what is important to prolong a good quality of life. Google rating score: 5.0 of 5,
