Medicine Today Elder Clinic is a specialist service for older adults, families, carers, and care homes seeking joined-up medical support. Our approach combines geriatric medicine, prevention, rehabilitation, medication safety, and practical family guidance.
Every patient is reviewed as a whole person, not a list of symptoms. We consider medical history, function, cognition, mood, nutrition, falls risk, medicines, living environment, and personal goals before recommending a clear plan.
Designed for older adults with complex needs, recurrent hospital visits, cognitive changes, frailty, falls, or multiple long-term conditions.
Detailed review of physical health, cognitive function, emotional wellbeing, medication, mobility, nutrition, social support, and risk factors.
Assessment for memory loss, confusion, delirium risk, mood changes, carer strain, behavioural symptoms, and practical safety planning.
Falls-risk screening, balance evaluation, gait analysis, postural blood-pressure checks, bone-health planning, and rehabilitation coordination.
Optimisation of prescriptions, adverse-effect checks, deprescribing recommendations, adherence review, and interaction-risk reduction.
Joined-up planning for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, respiratory conditions, kidney disease, pain, and frailty syndromes.
Convenient access through clinic appointments, secure video follow-up, residential-care review, and selected home-based assessments.
Our pathway is structured to reduce uncertainty. Patients and families leave with clear priorities, recommended investigations, treatment changes where appropriate, and a follow-up route.

Families often come to us during moments of uncertainty. The goal is clarity, safety, and a plan everyone can understand.
The assessment finally connected all the dots: medicines, falls, memory changes, and what we needed to do at home. We left with a plan we could follow.
My father was anxious about another clinic visit, but the team were patient, respectful, and practical. The follow-up call helped the whole family agree on next steps.
The medication review was invaluable. We understood which symptoms could be linked to side effects and what should be monitored over the next month.
Clear, family-friendly topics that help older adults recognise risks early and make informed care decisions.
Lighting, footwear, strength routines, hydration, vision checks, and medication review can all influence falls risk.
Changes in daily function, confusion, medication errors, and safety concerns should be discussed early.
Multiple prescriptions can increase side effects, interactions, dizziness, confusion, and hospitalisation risk.
Helpful answers for patients, families, carers, and professionals referring older adults.
Older adults with frailty, falls, memory concerns, multiple long-term conditions, repeated hospital admissions, medication side effects, or declining independence may benefit from assessment.
Yes. Families and carers are encouraged to attend, especially when there are concerns about memory, medicines, daily function, safety, or care planning.
No. The clinic provides specialist assessment and recommendations while working alongside the patient’s existing GP, hospital team, care home, or community clinicians when appropriate.
Selected home and care-home visits may be arranged after clinical triage, particularly where travel is difficult or the living environment is central to the care plan.
Tell us your concern, and the clinic coordinator will help identify the right appointment type. For urgent symptoms such as chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathlessness, or sudden confusion, call emergency services immediately.
