Who are we?

Diagnostics, Assessment and Access to Rehabilitation and Treatment (DAART) offers patients an assessment and diagnostic service including assessment by a GP with special interest in older people. The assesssment will be completed by a multidisciplinary team - this is a team made up of different healthcare professionals.

DAART will provide access to multidisciplinary assessment, diagnostic tests and clinical treatments with the aim of keeping a poorly patient out of hospital where appropriate, allowing care to be given closer to their home or in a community setting.
