The Geriatrician Outreach to GP Service has been developed to help identify older people 75 years and over who are at risk of hospitalisation, provide more proactive care and enhance service access for these patients.

The service works closely with the Keeping Well and Independent Program which is a Quality Improvement Program that assists GPs in early identification of their older patients who are at risk of deterioration and frailty and provides support for their management through care coordination.

Both services form part of the Collaborative Commissioning program, jointly funded by Northern Sydney Local Health District and Sydney North Health Network.

Aims of the Geriatrician Outreach to GP Service include:
1. Support GPs to better manage their complex elderly patients
2. Providing proactive care to elderly patients at risk of hospitalisation
