The Ageing Well team is a group of specialised healthcare professionals with expertise in ageing and the challenges that can come with getting older. We offer a comprehensive, “one‑stop‑shop” style clinic designed to support you with personalised advice, guidance, and treatment plans that promote your health, wellbeing, mobility, and independence.

Our aim is to identify concerns early, understand what matters most to you, and work with you to create practical strategies that help you age well. By doing this, we hope to empower you to remain as independent as possible and enhance your wellbeing.

The Ageing Well Clinic appointment last approximately two hours. Toilets and light refreshments will be available if needed. You are welcome to bring a relative or friend with you if you feel this would be helpful.

During the appointment, you will meet several members of the Ageing Well Team, including:

They will carry out your clinical observations, take blood samples if required, and review the information provided in your pre‑appointment questionnaire.

They will complete a comprehensive assessment, including nutritional intake, continence, psychological wellbeing, mobility, how you are managing at home, a review of your medical conditions, and a discussion around advance care planning.

You may be referred to the Ageing Well Clinic by your GP or another healthcare professional if they feel you are showing signs of “pre‑frailty”.

These signs may include:

·         You feel you have “slowed down”.

·         You are beginning to experience changes in your mobility (feeling unsteady, requiring more assistance, fear of falling).

·         You have experienced one or more falls in the past 12 months.

·         You are feeling less confident / less able with domestic or physical tasks (including washing & dressing, housework, shopping).

·         You are starting to feel more isolated socially.

·         You are feeling overwhelmed by a long list of medications.

If you feel you are experiencing early changes yourself and would benefit from a holistic assessment, you can also self‑refer.

If you are a carer, or you support someone who may benefit from a free health and wellbeing check, or support someone you feel may be experiencing any of the criteria above, please contact the Ageing Well Team to discuss further.
