ELDERLY CARE and

ORTHOPAEDICS

A Patient -  Centered approach

The primary objectives of our Orthopaedic care program are to:

  • Assess and optimise patients pre-surgery to identify and treat correctable comorbidities and maximise pre-surgical function 

  • Undertake prompt and effective treatment to aid early mobilisation post surgery.

  • Minimise adverse events during the acute episode of care

  • Tailor rehabilitation to maximise recovery

  • Prevent subsequent falls and fractures
