Ageing Well Clinic

Ageing Well Clinics were established in January 2022, and are now run from two sites - Portland Community Hospital on Portland and Lynch Lane offices on Lynch Lane, Weymouth.

Patients with a diverse range of health concerns, encompassing frailty, limited mobility, susceptibility to falls, and a history of recurrent hospital admissions, will receive invitations to attend this clinic, where a comprehensive assessment of their needs will be conducted. This invitation extends to patients dealing with chronic respiratory conditions and diabetes as well.

​

The objectives of the clinic encompass enhancing overall well-being, preserving independence, mitigating the risk of falls, optimising medication management, and reducing the likelihood of hospitalisation.

​

Individuals invited to the clinic will undergo a structured process, moving through various stations to consult with a range of healthcare and caregiving professionals, including:

​

  • Therapist (Occupational therapist and/or physiotherapist)

  • Specialist Frailty Nurse / Nurse Practitioner

  • Social Prescriber

  • Care Co-ordinator

​

Before attending the clinic, individuals who receive invitations are kindly requested to complete a questionnaire and bring it with them. The expected duration of the clinic visit is approximately 2 hours.

​

It is important to note that this clinic operates with the full support of the GP surgeries in Weymouth and Portland.
