Elderly Medicine
The team consists of four Consultants supported by an
experienced team of nursing, medical staff and therapy
services.
Outpatient services are provided with dedicated rapid access slots
for patients who need to be seen by a Consultant urgently, which
allows for early assessment.
Some features of our Elderly Medicine service include:
- Separate "Stroke" and "Falls" outpatient services
- Six-bedded acute stroke assessment area, supported by daily
senior review and an integrated care pathway for stroke
- The team works closely with other specialities across the
Trust, e.g. Emergency Medicine and Orthopaedics, to ensure
appropriate delivery of care for elderly patients
- Acute rehabilitation service is available
- Rehabilitation takes place at Ellesmere Port Hospital, provided
by Ellesmere Port and Neston PCT
