Lionel Cosin Day Unit

The Lionel Cosin Day Unit aims to provide a friendly and holistic service. The two main areas for referral to our clinics are outpatient referrals from primary care, or inpatient referrals and the Daily Diagnostic Unit.

Clinics include:

• Geratology
• Movement Disorder
• TIA
• Memory
• Falls
• OXVASC (vascular)
• DENDRON (research / dementia).
  

The Lionel Cosin Day Unit is staffed by a team of nurses. Patients attending the Lionel Cosin Day Unit usually see at least two members of our team - for example, nurses, doctors or specialist nurses.

The Daily Diagnostic Unit provides services to patients who have recently been discharged from a ward or from their acute admission. They may require medical reviews, repeat blood tests, scans or IV antibiotics.

Follow-up appointments or referrals to other healthcare professionals are arranged if needed.

Hot and cold drinks are available throughout the day, and a light lunch is provided if required. There is no charge for this.

At the Lionel Cosin Day Unit we aim to:

• provide specialist health services for older people - these include both identifying the causes of health problems and also providing advice and help with treatment
• prevent unnecessary admission to hospital
• help patients remain in their own environment/home
• help maintain independence
• provide carer information
• liaise with other agencies.
