Flexible appointment options for different levels of need.
Some patients need a broad assessment; others need targeted advice on memory, falls, medicines, or family decisions. The clinic helps match the appointment type to the concern.
Available care options
Best for multiple concerns, complex diagnoses, frailty, repeated admissions, falls, memory change, or unclear decline.
Suitable for a specific concern such as falls, new confusion, mobility loss, medication side effects, or post-discharge deterioration.
For patients taking several medicines or experiencing dizziness, sedation, confusion, appetite change, falls, or treatment burden.
Helps relatives and carers understand risk, support options, escalation planning, care-home questions, and future decision-making.
Available after triage when travelling is difficult or the living environment is central to assessment.
Reviews progress, test results, treatment adjustments, family questions, and whether the plan remains appropriate.
Choosing the right option
The clinic coordinator will ask about the main concern, urgency, medical background, current medicines, mobility, memory, and preferred appointment format. This helps identify whether the patient needs a comprehensive review, focused appointment, or urgent signposting.
- Choose comprehensive assessment when there are several linked concerns.
- Choose focused review when one problem needs prompt clinical clarification.
- Choose family planning when decisions about safety, support, or care setting are becoming difficult.
- Choose follow-up when a previous care plan needs review or adjustment.
