Sussex Premier Health, Hastings: Important update for patients with upcoming appointments
At Sussex Premier Health, our consultant geriatrician provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and management for a wide range of age-related health conditions. We specialise in supporting older adults with chronic illnesses, mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and other complex medical needs.
Based in Hastings and serving patients across East Sussex and surrounding areas, our team takes a personalised holistic to care, combining medical expertise with compassionate support to help older adults maintain independence, improve quality of life, and age well.
Whether you’re seeking guidance for yourself or a loved one, Sussex Premier Health offers tailored geriatric care designed to meet the unique health needs of older adults.
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:
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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)
