At Hamilton George Care, we are proud to announce the launch of our distinguished Medical Advisory Board - a milestone that reinforces our commitment to delivering truly integrated, high-quality live-in care across the UK.
Redefining In-Home Care Through Medical Collaboration
Our mission is to redefine aging at home by providing exceptional, fully managed live-in care. Achieving outstanding patient outcomes requires more than just compassion and skill; it demands a joined-up approach that brings together caregivers, families, and respected medical professionals.
The Building Blocks of Exceptional Home Care
Expertly Trained Carers: Every Hamilton George carer is rigorously vetted, trained, and supported, ensuring they deliver care with empathy, skill, and professionalism. We prioritise emotional intelligence and communication, so our carers integrate seamlessly into clients’ homes and lives.
Family Engagement: We know that family involvement is key. By working closely with loved ones, we add invaluable insight and continuity to each care plan.
Clinical Excellence & Ongoing Support: Our in-house nurse and clinical team provide ongoing oversight, problem-solving, and support, ensuring every client receives the highest standard of care.
Technology-Driven Coordination: Secure, modern technology enables real-time information sharing between all parties - carers, families, and healthcare professionals - supporting clinical excellence and responsive care.
The Missing Link: Integration with the Medical Community
Despite these strengths, one critical aspect is often overlooked in social care: direct collaboration with the wider medical community. According to NHS England, 20% of patients consult their GPs for problems that are non-clinical or social in nature - highlighting that doctors are still a vital first point of contact. Yet, too often, care providers and the NHS operate in isolation, leading to fragmented care and missed opportunities for early intervention.
During my time at NHS Digital, the COVID-19 pandemic laid bare these gaps. Without an established connection between care providers and medical professionals, patients and families are left navigating complex decisions alone, and opportunities for proactive, preventive care are lost.
The Benefits of Joined-Up Care: How Medical Partnerships Improve Outcomes
At Hamilton George Care, we are committed to closing this gap. By building strong relationships with leading medical professionals, we ensure our clients benefit from truly integrated, joined-up care.
Here’s how our Medical Advisory Board enhances patient outcomes:
Access to Specialist Knowledge: Our board members provide expert clinical guidance, supporting accurate diagnoses, effective medication management, and evidence-based care planning.
Continuous Clinical Oversight: Regular dialogue between our team and medical advisors creates a feedback loop - monitoring vital signs, discussing disease progression, and enabling swift, informed adjustments to care.
Early Intervention & Prevention: Integrated information sharing means early warning signs are spotted sooner, helping prevent complications and hospital admissions.
Seamless Care Coordination: Medical professionals act as trusted care coordinators, triaging complex conditions, collaborating with specialists, and ensuring clients receive the right care at the right time - within the comfort of their own home whenever possible.
Introducing the Hamilton George Medical Advisory Board
To formalise and strengthen these practices, we have established the Hamilton George Care Medical Advisory Board, led by Dr. Simon Moore MBBS, DRCOG, FRCGP - founder of Moore Medical Practice, Chelsea. Our board features leading experts in General Practice, Neurology, Geriatric Medicine, and others, each bringing decades of experience and a shared commitment to excellence.
This collaboration enables us to offer:
- Personalised, clinically robust care plans
- Direct access to specialist advice for complex or changing needs
- Enhanced training and support for our carers, informed by the latest medical best practices
