Geriatric Medicine at UHNM ( Royal Stoke & County Hospitals)
The Consultants in Geriatric Medicine provide services for Older People within the UHNM.
Royal Stoke is the main site, where there are 5 acute Elderly Care wards and a Frail Elderly Assessment Unit (FEAU) and one Elderly Care ward at County Hospital.
Acute Geriatric Medicine
At Royal Stoke, patients who meet the frail elderly criteria are transferred from the ED to FEAU – a 29-bedded unit. Patients are reviewed on the same day or following morning by a Consultant Geriatrician on a post-take ward round.
FEAU is staffed with consultants and junior doctors from Elderly Care from 08:00hours to 20:00hours and covered by the roving medical registrar and a medical SHO outside of these hours. We also accept patients directly from GPs, or from the Community Single Point of Care and aim to ensure that FEAU is only accepting patients who meet our frail elderly admission criteria. Approximately 25% of the patients seen in our Frail Elderly Assessment Unit are discharged from FEAU and the remainder are transferred to one of the Elderly Care wards (123, 76A,76B, 78 and 81).
County Hospital has one Elderly Care ward (Ward 15). Patients are transferred to Ward 15 from AMU. The ward has 1 substantive consultant, 1 specialty doctor, 5 trainee doctors and 1 ANP.
