Where you can find us
The department of elderly Health is located in Seymour Unit at Trafford General Hospital. We have inpatient acute management in the medical wards, coronary care unit and high dependency units at Trafford General Hospital. The Seymour Unit also caters for inpatient rehabilitation services.

Making an appointment
Referrals to the department can be made via your GP. Please advise your GP if you wish to be referred to us.
If a person is already an inpatient, the next of kin should speak to the secretaries in order to make an appointment to see the consultant. Usually we would request you to speak to one of the staff nurses, ward sister or one of the doctors in the ward first.
