Our aim is to provide outstanding care to all older people in Norfolk and Waveney and become a national centre of excellence in the management of frailty. Through expert medical review and multidisciplinary assessment we endeavor to maximise our patients function, minimise morbidity and prevent mortality.

We provide a full range of general and specialist services for older people with medical problems.
