Elderly medicine
Overview
Our elderly medicine service provides a comprehensive range of specialist services recommended by the national service framework for older people, across all three of our hospitals. A key element of this service includes acute care of older people, rehabilitation, acute stroke and orthogeriatrics.
We also have a broad range of specialist services for older people including specialist out-patients clinics, falls services, community based services and our TREAT* service, a consultant led front door service to promote and facilitate safe discharge from the emergency department for complex and frail older patients.
Our in-patient acute services are provided from dedicated wards at Barnet Hospital and at the Royal Free Hospital. Out-patient clinics are also held at both hospitals. We have rehabilitation wards at Chase Farm Hospital and access to rehabilitation wards provided by other trusts at Edgware Community Hospital, Finchley Memorial Hospital, St Pancras Hospital and Potters Bar Hospital.
Find out more about staying in our hospitals.
We also work in close partnership with primary care and community teams to provide a specialist outreach service to older people in the community.
