Conditions Our Geriatricians Care For
Growing older often brings several health problems at the same moment, and a geriatrician considers how they affect each other. Care also extends to Parkinson’s disease, dementia, frailty and pressure ulcers.
Memory Disorders
Diabetes
Hypertension
Cardiovascular Disease
Stroke
Arthritis
Social Interaction
Multiple ConditionsWhen to See a Geriatrician
Consider a geriatric visit once health problems begin to outnumber the specialists treating them.
Over 65 With Several Conditions
Especially useful when physical illness and memory or thinking difficulties occur together.
Growing Frailty
When frailty or lost independence means relying on family, friends or paid carers day to day.
Treatment That Needs Coordinating
When several specialists are involved and the therapies are becoming hard to keep track of.
What Happens at a Geriatric Home Visit
Visits take place wherever the patient lives, with carers involved from the start.
Wherever You Live
Visits happen in a private residence, independent or assisted living, or a nursing home.
A Thorough First Visit
Your geriatrician takes a full history, carries out an examination and reviews your current treatment, then discusses the findings and a plan with you. With your consent, carers are told about changes in therapy and any further tests.
Follow-Ups at Home or Online
Later appointments can be home visits or a video consultation with our online geriatrician service.
A Team Around the Patient
Geriatricians work with other professionals on memory loss, incontinence, the risk of falls and changes in mood or social contact.
Registered and Insured
Every geriatrician is fully registered with the GMC and insured, and has been vetted with background and reference checks and an interview.
Experienced in UK Practice
Our geriatricians have worked within the NHS, in private practice, or both.
Joined-Up Support
Medical, social and emotional needs can be met together, with physiotherapists, speech therapists and psychologists alongside.

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.
A short referral letter from your GP summarising the history helps, as do discharge summaries from recent hospital stays, results of any special tests and a record from any specialist who has visited. Put out your medicines, or a list of them, so the geriatrician can review everything together.
A geriatrician specialises in the health needs of older adults, so is used to untangling several conditions and the medicines taken for them. Your GP stays your first point of contact for everyday care.
