When to See a Geriatrician
A geriatric consultation helps most when health problems pile up or daily life becomes harder to manage.
Over 65 With Several Health Problems
Ideal for anyone over 65 living with multiple physical or cognitive health problems, or who simply wants a general picture of their health.
When Caring Becomes Hard
Advisable when frailty or disability is significant, when caring puts heavy strain on family, or when prescribed therapies are hard to follow and everyday management is complicated.
A Change in Health
Your geriatrician can assess chronic disease management, cognitive decline, reduced self-sufficiency or sudden changes that need a quick review of therapy.
Joined-Up Care
Our consultants work within multidisciplinary teams, with links to clinics and hospitals in London. If your plan needs physiotherapists, speech therapists or psychological support for carers, Medelit can arrange it at home or online.

What Our Patients Say
Very good experience. From the process to an appointment till the visit of the doctor. Even the afterwork with a detailed report. Appointment on time, good treatment. For sure, the right adress for visit of a doctor at home.
The service is impeccable...i was provided with an acupuncturist covering my area immediately and the practitioner was very professional and gave a medical report after each session. Also an invoice was provided which was acceptable by my insurance AXA PPP...
Great service all around. It was easy to arrange the appointment and make payment. Nurse came to my home to administer an infusion. Very friendly and professional nurse who was a pleasure to have in my home.
A very professional medical group. Responded immediately to my mums caring needs. We were desperate for a home visit and they answered promptly and allocated a very thorough doctor for us. Doctor made mum very relaxed because mum is usually a very nervous patient. I will recommend others to use them. Very satisfied with their services. Way to go Medelit. Well done!
The speech therapist who visited me at home was very attentive, patience and positive. She had time to address all of my questions and give me much needed guidance. Very pleased with the service and would highly recommend. Thanks, From a pleased mother.
It is a video appointment with a consultant geriatrician, a doctor who specialises in the health of older people. Your geriatrician reviews your history, medicines and current treatment, talks it through with you and your carer, and agrees a plan built around what matters most.
Yes. Every geriatrician is fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and is a consultant working in UK hospitals and clinics. Each is hand-picked for expertise and experience, and has reached a leading role in elderly medicine. You are seen by an experienced consultant.
Your geriatrician gathers your medical history, medication history and current therapy, then looks at gait, mood, lifestyle, independence and memory. You go through your treatment plan together and receive specialist advice on any further tests that may help. A written report follows once the consultation ends.
Yes. The assessment is designed for the patient and carer together, so relatives and carers are welcome on the call. Your geriatrician explains the findings to both of you and shapes the care plan around the person doing the caring as well.
Yes, your medication history is part of every consultation. Geriatricians know how older people tend to respond to drugs and how different medicines interact, so they can pick up problems when several are taken together. Keep your medicines or a current list beside you during the call.
No referral is needed. If you already hold hospital letters, test results or notes from another doctor, share them with your geriatrician, because they provide useful background, but you can book without them. Having them to hand simply makes the consultation more productive.
Choose & Book lets you compare the geriatricians currently seeing online patients, with their experience and fee on view before you commit. You send your preferred time, your geriatrician confirms a time that fits their availability, and you pay securely online after accepting. There is no subscription.
Yes to both. After the first consultation you can agree a care plan with regular online follow-ups. A full written report of the assessment, treatment and care needs is given to you afterwards, so you can share it with your GP and everyone involved in your care has the same picture.
A computer, tablet or mobile with a working camera and sound, plus a reasonably steady internet connection. Choose a quiet, well-lit room, and have any carer sit with you if you wish. Join a few minutes early, so any problem with sound or picture can be fixed before the consultation begins.
A video consultation covers history, medicines, assessment through conversation and observation, and planning, but it cannot replace a hands-on examination. If you need a geriatrician to see you in person, our geriatric home visits bring a consultant to your door.
No. Online geriatric consultations are for planned, non-emergency care. If someone has a sudden change in health, such as a suspected stroke, chest pain, a serious fall or sudden confusion, dial 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice that is not an emergency, contact NHS 111.
