The Geriatric Medicine Clinic aims to meet the special needs of older people, especially those who are frail. In particular, we have clinics that specially evaluate and treat older people with geriatric syndromes, functional decline and pain. We also have a palliative care clinic. In addition, geriatricians run ther own individual clinics.
The services offered to the patients are dependent on the nature of functional impairment and complexity of care required. Patients’ needs and care management are assessed in accordance with the scope of care and services provided by the medical and nursing staff.
The facilities available include consultation and treatment rooms, including a single room Sick Bay for frail older patients who need to lie down and rest while waiting for consultation or admission, and a small gym for Geriatric Rehabilitation.
The clinic is supported by various clinical support services, located within the hospital. These include laboratory, diagnostic radiology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, podiatry, dietetics, nursing, care and counseling services.
