Rapid Assessment Clinic
About the service
The Rapid Assessment Clinic is a new service that provides next day assessment for older people who have come into hospital via the Emergency Department. The OPAL Team (based in the ED) refers older patients to the Day Hospital for assessment and treatment to avoid unnecessary admissions to hospital.
The clinic is based at the Day Hospital and is led by a Consultant Geriatrician. The service provides assessment, investigations, treatment and rehabilitation to address in more depth the acute and longer term needs of older people.
