CONSULTANT LED CARE FOR COMPLEX CASES

What does a Consultant Geriatrician do?

A Consultant Geriatrician specialises in assessing and managing complex health problems in older adults, including memory loss, falls, frailty, and multiple medical conditions. The aim is to provide a holistic, personalised care plan that improves safety, independence, and quality of life.

👉 When to consider a Geriatric Assessment

You should consider a geriatric assessment if there are:

Memory problems or confusion
Recurrent falls or reduced mobility
Multiple medications or side effects
Decline in independence
Unclear diagnosis despite previous reviews

Early specialist assessment helps identify treatable causes and prevent further decline.

Many patients referred for “memory problems” actually have underlying medical or medication-related causes — which require specialist geriatric assessment.

CONSULTANT LED CARE FOR COMPLEX CASES

Why choose a Consultant Geriatrician?

Older adults often have multiple interacting medical, cognitive, and functional problems that cannot be managed in isolation.

A Consultant Geriatrician is specifically trained to assess the whole person, rather than focusing on a single condition.

What makes this different?

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

Why private specialist 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

👉 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.

Common Reasons People See Me

A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment aims to identify the underlying causes, reduce risks and support independence. It evaluates the whole person, not just a single condition.
