Geriatric Services at Sussex Premier Health

We provide a comprehensive range of geriatric investigations and treatments designed to address the specific needs of older adults. Some of the key services we offer include:

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments

The initial health assessment is designed to provide a complete picture of your health, including physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing. This includes a thorough review of your medical history, lifestyle, and any current conditions you may have. Based on this, we create a personalised care plan tailored to your needs.

Chronic Disease Management

We provide expert management of chronic conditions that are more common in later life, such as:

  • Hypertension

  • Diabetes

  • Heart disease

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Respiratory conditions

Our team works with you to ensure your chronic conditions are managed effectively, reducing complications and improving overall wellbeing.

Memory Assessments

Cognitive decline is a common concern as we age. Our geriatrician specialise in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and mild cognitive impairment. We offer memory assessments, early detection, and strategies to manage symptoms, as well as family support and guidance.

Mobility and Falls Prevention

Mobility issues and falls become more frequent with age, but they are not inevitable. Our team conducts detailed assessments to evaluate balance, mobility, and risk of falls. We work with physiotherapists to develop strategies and rehabilitation programmes to improve strength, mobility, and reduce fall risk.

Osteoporosis and Bone Health

Osteoporosis is a common condition in older adults, especially women after menopause. We offer bone density testing (DEXA scans) and treatment plans to reduce fracture risk and improve bone health. This may include medication, lifestyle changes, and dietary recommendations.

Medication Management

As we age, managing multiple medications can become complex. Our geriatricians conduct thorough reviews of your medications to ensure they are still necessary, effective, and safe. We focus on optimising your treatment to minimise side effects and interactions.

Conditions Treated

Our consultants are experienced in diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions common in older adults, including:

  • Chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease)

  • Osteoporosis and bone health issues

  • Cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

  • Stroke and post-stroke care

  • Falls and mobility issues

  • Incontinence and urinary tract infections

  • Mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety

  • Multimorbidity and polypharmacy (managing multiple health conditions and medications)

  • Frailty and age-related physical decline
