Geriatric Online & Phone Medelit's Online Geriatric Service is particularly useful for all those wanting to access the best geriatric advice in the UK, but are unable to do so because of safety or health issues and/or because they are in other areas of the world. The online geriatric consultation includes the careful collection of anamnestic data, pharmacological history and ongoing therapy. Together with the patient and their carers, a complete evaluation is carried out and a treatment plan is drafted with a focus on the priorities that emerged during the consultation. The standard procedures performed by a geriatrician can include the assessment of fitness and gait as well as mood, lifestyle, levels of independence and memory. Nowadays, more than half of people over the age of 65 have three or more medical issues such as hypertension, dementia, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s or arthritis. Geriatricians are trained and experienced in dealing with the complex task of treating people with conditions that affect multiple organs. They have a comprehensive knowledge of drug reactions and interactions, and how elderly patients specifically tend to react to certain drugs. If you or your loved one is affected by chronic illness or any other physical restraint, and you are unable to consult an elderly medicine specialist in person, you can use Medelit's online medical platform and ask advice from a geriatrician with the certainty that you will be talking to a leading, highly experienced UK registered consultant that Medelit has hand-picked to be part of its reputable team. During the online consultation, our Geriatrics consultants provide the patient, and patient’s caregiver, with an in-depth general assessment including a review of the current treatment plan and specialistic advice on any additional useful tests. A complete medical report describing the overall assessment and the therapeutic and care need will be issued following the visit, and we will take care of sending it directly to your GP. In order to access the online geriatric consultation you can use any internet-connected device (a pc, a mobile phone, Ipad).

Respiratory Physiotherapy

Respiratory Physiotherapy Home Visits Our Respiratory Physios can help you: Reduce your respiratory symptoms Help prevent your hospitalisation Improve the quality of your life Reduce the number and severity of flares Improve your exercise capacity Provide information and advice on your respiratory disease Book a visit with our Respiratory Physiotherapists london respiratory physiotherapy You can contact us directly by phone: 020 36 37 56 57 Or online: Book a Home Visit What is Respiratory Physiotherapy? In some situations, such as after a general anaesthesia or in specific diseases such as cystic fibrosis, the lungs build up excessive secretions. These secretions can make it difficult to breath and can result in a collapse of the lung if left untreated. Respiratory Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary treatment program for patients with disorders of the respiratory system. Chest physiotherapy aims to clear the lungs of secretions, reduce the effort of breathing and improve exercise tolerance. The therapy normally involves the application of various chest clearance techniques, as well as guided exercise techniques and the teaching of specific positions, both during pacing and resting, which will maximise your functional abilities. When is a respiratory therapy useful? Cardio-respiratory rehabilitation is indicated for conditions affecting the lungs such as: respiratory therapist Respiratory Physiotherapy is also essential for patients requiring mechanical ventilation, to help prevent or solve respiratory complications and stop ventilation as quickly as possible. If you are waiting for surgery, especially if it will involve the chest or you are being discharged after intensive care admission, respiratory surgery will help you be discharged earlier from hospital and will promote your quicker recovery once you're at home. The purpose of this therapy is to reduce physical and pathological compromise, increase physical and mental performance and favour the return to a normal and socially interactive life. Often respiratory rehabilitation is only started at an advanced stage of the disease. And if it is true that even the most serious patients will benefit from the physiotherapy program, it should be taken in account that starting rehabilitation at an early stage will allow you to effectively prevent disease progression (smoking cessation, nutritional strategies) and increased functionally beneficial exercise. How we work After an initial assessment, an individualised rehabilitation path is planned for you, which includes a number of physiotherapy exercises aimed at both building your general muscular strength and working on particular respiratory muscles. Our Respiratory Phsyiotherapy programs are tailored for each patient' needs, and are aimed at optimising autonomy as well as physical and social performance. The overall duration of a chest physiotherapy program is usually between 8 and 12 weeks, after which you will be encouraged to stay active so as not to lose the benefits gained. respiratory physiotherapy london [...]

Speech Therapy in schools

Speech & Language Therapy in Schools 2 to 3 children in each UK classroom have communication difficulties that require specialist help. Up to 7% of these children have long-term issues which affect their learning over the years. Speech and language problems seem to affect key learning areas such as literacy development. Supporting Children in Schools Medelit's speech and language therapists (SLTs) can help recognise and explain the nature and severity of the problem and, together with teachers and parents, assess its effects on both school progress and everyday life. Therapy programmes are then organised based on the individual pupil’s needs. Programmes are carried out by school staff and parents and they are supported by the SLT. Each pupil's program is then evaluated, developed and modified over time. Where can we help? In schools our Speech and Language Therapists work with pupils who have a range of Special Educational Needs such as speech & Language delays and/or disorders, stammering, Semantic Pragmatic Disorder, Autistism Spectrum Disorders ,learning disabilities and Selective Mutism .

Our services for schools We offer therapy based on each individual child's needs, and this includes: Screening and detailed standardised assessments These are particularly focused on the classroom language, and are used to examine key areas of understanding. The results are given as standard scores, enabling staff to compare a pupil’s level of understanding to a standard for that age and therefore to identify children requiring support. The assessment, with slight changes according to the age of the child, evaluates the understanding of areas such as Concepts, Questions, Following Instructions, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, etc. After the assessment, a support plan is generated identifying the appropriate level of support needed for the pupil who might be recommended for classroom support, small group intervention or individual support. Parents will be asked to complete a referral questionnaire and consent form before their child sees a therapist. One-to-one individual speech and language therapy Usually our speech and language therapist (SLT) will visit a school on a specific day of the week and [...]
