About the service
Our elderly medicine service at Thames View, Charing Cross Hospital and the Lindo Wing, St Mary’s Hospital specialises in caring for older people who may have more complex health needs. Many of our patients live with several medical conditions, take multiple medications, or need additional support at home or in a care setting. Our focus is on providing personalised, compassionate care that supports both health and independence.
When older patients become unwell and need hospital treatment, we can provide inpatient care, as well as rehabilitation within in our hospital. We work closely with other medical specialists, allied health professionals and GPs to ensure joined‑up, well‑coordinated care.
