Areas I specialise in
What I do?
Older adults rarely have a single problem. Memory issues, mobility difficulties, medications and physical health often interact.

CONSULTANT LED CARE FOR COMPLEX CASES
Why see a Geriatrician?
Older patients often present with multiple interacting conditions, which can be difficult to diagnose and manage in single-condition clinics.
A geriatrician:
- Takes a holistic, systems-based approach
- Identifies underlying and reversible causes
- Reviews medications in detail
- Assesses cognition, mobility and independence
- Integrates physical, cognitive and functional health
This leads to more accurate diagnosis and safer, more effective treatment.
👉 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.
