Dr Helen Kerss

I am a Consultant specialising in care of the older person and General Medicine. I have a subspecialty interest in Lifestyle Medicine and Wellbeing.

I qualified in 2006 from Sheffield Medical School with a distinction in a specialist study module and completed my higher specialty training in Merseyside.

I care deeply about my patients and prioritise listening to their concerns and priorities for health. Working together we tailor a bespoke holistic management and treatment plan to meet your individual needs. I have specialist expertise in complex medical management, frailty, falls, polypharmacy and delirium. I greatly value working alongside other healthcare professionals to ensure that my patients maintain or improve their level of independence and mental and physical functioning wherever possible.

More recently I have developed a specialist interest in Lifestyle Medicine and Wellbeing and have completed the core accreditation as a Physician from the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine Practice Unbound about how to deliver lifestyle prescriptions. I am passionate about identifying and supporting patients to improve aspects of their lifestyle that would benefit their overall mental and physical health and to aid in the prevention and treatment of illness and disease.
