Age-Link Specialist Clinic
for Older Persons is a specialist clinic for geriatric
medicine. Geriatric medicine is that branch of
medicine concerned with the clinical, preventive,
remedial and social aspects of illnesses in older
persons (British Geriatric Society).
Our clinic provides expertise
for addressing different aspects of health concerns
commonly faced by older persons. These include
comprehensive geriatric assessment (screening
and management of conditions commonly encountered
in older persons - often referred to as geriatric
syndromes), management of "ortho-geriatric" conditions
such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, co-ordination
and review of care for multiple co-existent chronic
illnesses and rehabilitation of older persons
recovering from major illnesses.
Our doctor and staff work closely
with other specialists and allied health personnel
(physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech
therapists and dietitians) to provide a comprehensive
service that is aimed at optimizing the health
and physical independence of older persons.
