Why Choose Us?
New Health Consulting – Expert Nurse-Led Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
At New Health Consulting, we provide in-depth, person-centred Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments (CGA) to ensure older adults receive the right support for their medical, functional and social needs.
We come to your preferred setting—whether at home, in a care facility, or another location—to conduct a detailed, face-to-face assessment.
Each CGA includes:
✔ A holistic evaluation of physical health, mobility, cognition and social well-being.
✔ A tailored, professional report with clear recommendations for care, support and interventions.
✔ An optional Structured Medication Review (SMR), focusing on safe, effective prescribing.
A full CGA typically takes 3–4 hours, ensuring a thorough and accurate assessment. If an SMR is required separately, this requires approximately 1 hour.
All of our services include a detailed, patient specific report covering all domains of the chosen assessment with onward recommendations for the patients GP, healthcare provider and more.
We primarily cover North East England, but can travel nationwide by prior arrangement.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)
The British Geriatrics Society (BGS) defines a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) as a multidimensional, interdisciplinary process aimed at optimising the medical, functional, psychological and social needs of older adults. CGA involves:
Medical assessment – Identifying and managing comorbidities, polypharmacy and frailty.
Functional assessment – Evaluating mobility, ADLs and risk of falls.
Psychosocial assessment – Assessing cognition, mood and social determinants of health.
Environmental assessment – Reviewing home safety and care support needs.
Care planning – Developing a coordinated, person-centred management plan with input from a multidisciplinary team.
CGA's have been shown to improve clinical outcomes, enhance functional independence and reduce hospital admissions in both acute and community settings.
CHC Assessment's
A CHC (Continuing Healthcare) assessment determines eligibility for NHS-funded ongoing care for individuals with complex health needs. The process includes:
- Checklist Tool – Initial screening for full assessment.
- Multidisciplinary Assessment – Using the Decision Support Tool (DST) to evaluate 12 care domains (e.g., cognition, mobility, medication needs).
- Eligibility Decision – Based on the nature, intensity, complexity and unpredictability of needs.
- Care Planning – If eligible, NHS funds care in an appropriate setting.
A CHC is particularly relevant for frail individuals with progressive or complex care needs and a CGA can provide supporting evidence.
Structured Medication Review (SMR)
A Structured Medication Review (SMR) within a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) optimises prescribing for older adults by:
- Identifying and addressing polypharmacy, reducing inappropriate medications and adverse drug reactions
- Minimising frailty risks by deprescribing high-risk drugs (e.g., anticholinergics, sedatives).
- Aligning treatment with comorbidities, ensuring essential therapies are maintained.
- Enhancing adherence through regimen simplification and patient education.
- Supporting person-centred care by aligning medications with patient goals and shared decision-making.
- Reducing hospital admissions by preventing medication-related harm.
Integrating a SMR into a CGA improves safety, function and clinical outcomes in frail older adults.
Ear Irrigation
Having ear irrigation done at home by a qualified nurse practitioner offers a safe, convenient and effective solution for removing excess earwax and improving hearing.
As an experienced nurse practitioner, I provide a gentle, clinical-grade service in the comfort of your home, reducing the risk of complications associated with self-cleaning.
My expertise ensures a thorough assessment, safe technique and personalised aftercare advice, helping to prevent infections and discomfort.
With no need for GP appointments or long waiting times, my home ear irrigation service offers a hassle-free way to maintain ear health and clarity.
Please be aware that in some instances following a thorough assessment, it may not be necessary or safe to carry out ear irrigation such as;
- Ear canal clear of wax
- Perforated ear drum
- Current or recent ear infection
- History of ear surgery or trauma
