Dr Anne Davies

I set up and have been providing a falls service since being appointed as a consultant in 1997, as well as having provided acute, orthogeriatric, rehabilitation and care home services.

I have extensive experience both clinically and academically in vertigo and autonomic dysfunction having worked at the autonomic unit at St Mary’s Hospital and the Human Movement and Balance Unit at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.  My MD title is “Neurological Normality in Old Age”. 

I provide undergraduate and postgraduate education in these areas.

My clinic at the Private Patient Unit will focus on assessment of patients with any or a combination of the following – imbalance, dizziness (lightheaded or vertigo), unexplained falls and loss of consciousness.

Same day assessment and treatment through Epley’s manoeuvres can be provided for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, which account for 90% of positional dizziness.

There is full access to diagnostic services and availability of physiotherapy services with therapists trained in validated exercise programmes for falls reduction and vestibular treatments.

I am also available to see older patients on an ad hoc basis for other medical symptoms.

Leadership position(s):

Trust clinical lead for Falls Services / National Audit of Inpatient Falls

Personal profile:

I provide clinical advice to the Health Ombudsman both in England and Northern Ireland and act as a medicolegal expert in medical negligence and personal injury.
