Our Geriatric Emergency Medicine (GEM) team works closely with our Emergency Department to assess and manage medical emergencies for elderly patients. This multi-disciplinary approach ensures that these patients receive services that are best suited for their care and minimises admissions and re-visits to the hospital.
GEM Nurse
GEM nurses are specially trained to care for older adults. They work closely with patients and their families throughout the stay. They conduct a comprehensive geriatric assessment to evaluate patients' medical issues, memory, mobility, emotional health, home situation, daily activities, fall risks and any signs of confusion. Working with A&E and Geriatric doctors, GEM nurses develop care plans for discharge and link patients to community services to ensure they receive the right support.
