Elderly Medicine is a 22 bedded medical ward, consisting of three 6 bedded areas, and 4 single rooms, one of which is an isolation room.

One of the 6 bedded wards is an acute stroke unit under the direction of Prof. Tom O Malley and Dr Tom Lee. Patients admitted with a stroke or developing a stroke in-house are admitted to the stroke unit  and stay in Elderly Medicine for the duration of their stay in MUH.
