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.

Excellent rating
Based on 33 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Dr Jha at Thornbury Hospital. He was incredibly caring, thorough, and took the time to explain everything in a way that both I and my family could clearly understand. I never felt rushed and he made sure all of our questions were answered. His communication was outstanding from the very first phone call to arrange the consultation. Within 24 hours of the appointment I received a detailed summary by email, and he even followed up with messages to check how I was doing. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines such professionalism with genuine care. I would highly recommend Dr Jha to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. Kevan HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha responded very quickly to my initial enquiry. Arranged an appointment within a couple of days. Made my mum feel at ease and we decided to go ahead with the assessment. We received a very detailed letter that evening with a full diagnosis (also sent to G.P.). Nicola WildTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a private consultation with Dr. Jah for my mum, and the experience was excellent. He was kind, professional, and made her feel completely at ease. Everything ran on time, and the follow‑up report was clear, detailed, and genuinely helpful. I’m really grateful for the care he provided — the service was outstanding from start to finish. Nicola WiddowsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Dr Jha, on behalf of myself and my wife Monica, we would like to thank you for your swift response to our call during what was an extremely difficulty time. Your visit to our home to see me personally, in a most kind, understanding and professional manner, which put me at ease knowing you were understanding of my problem. It was a blessing to receive medication swiftly together with appropriate scans. Once again my grateful thanks. John Slater john slaterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha understands how important it is to make the consultation as relaxed and calm as possible. His review appointment was exactly this. He communicates extremely well and as a family we are very grateful for his care. Kathryn WellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really helpful. Got to see us the same day. Makes my husband feel at ease and diagnosed straight away with the signs and symptoms he had. It’s not the first time we have seen him and both times efficient, helpful and really supportive. Helen WeatherstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Dr Jha. He came out to visit my 94 year old mother in her sheltered accommodation at very short notice and when we were desperate. He spent two hours assessing her. He put her very much at her ease. As a consequence of the resulting report and diagnosis we were able to make plans for her future safety and health. She was also able to start on a regime of medication that has made an enormous difference. She is now in a Care Home but as a result of his diagnosis and medication she is thriving once again. Without his timely intervention I fear she would not be with us today. Maggie ThurmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and we got an appointment straight away I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 😊 Karina PridgeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Jha replied very promptly to my initial enquiry and was willing to visit my aunt and assess her at her Care Home in Mexborough within 2 days. We received his report (in the form of a letter to the GP) and the required PA14 Medical Certificate form the next day. We were very grateful for his swift and professional work. The supervisor at my aunt’s Care Home reported that Dr Jha had a very patient and understanding manner with my aunt, putting her at ease. He had a sensitive approach to which my aunt responded well. He was respectful and understanding when she became agitated. He made a thorough assessment of my aunt which took, as he had said it would, about 2 hours. I have been very pleased with, and grateful for, every aspect of Dr Jha’s work. Mrs Helen Garner Nigel Garner
