Gerontology is the medical specialty dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique health needs of older adults. It focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions associated with ageing, with the goal of supporting healthy ageing, independence, and quality of life.
Our gerontology specialists provide comprehensive care tailored to the physical, mental, and social aspects of ageing. This includes managing complex and chronic health conditions, medication reviews, cognitive assessments, fall prevention strategies, and support for age-related concerns such as frailty or memory loss.
We take a holistic, patient-centred approach, working collaboratively with families, carers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care and dignity at every stage of life.
Areas of focus:
-
Memory and cognitive assessments (including dementia)
-
Polypharmacy and medication management
-
Frailty, falls, and mobility issues
-
Chronic disease management in older adults
-
Advanced care planning and support for carers
Our goal is to help older adults live well, with the right support, at every stage of ageing.
