Geriatrician

A doctor specialising in older people’s health, with particular attention to independence and the coordination of care.

1 Role and approach

The assessment considers health, treatments, mobility, memory and living conditions. With the person’s consent, relatives or other close contacts may be involved, and a coordinated care plan may follow.

2 Scope and limitations

A geriatrician addresses the older person’s overall health. Old age psychiatry, also included in the directory, refers more specifically to the psychiatric aspects of ageing.
