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.
