Personal profile

Dr Pravin Jha is a Consultant Physician specialising in care for the elderly (geriatric medicine) in Sheffield. He welcomes private patients at Thornbury Hospital from where he provides outpatient consultation, as well as inpatient medical management including intensive rehabilitation.

He is available within 24 hours for consultation, and has been working as an old age specialist for over 10 years, undergoing specialist training in General and Geriatric Medicine in the West Midlands. He offers a range of services and specialises in the management of multiple co-morbidities resulting in poor quality of life.

He is a Lead Clinician in the NHS working from Barnsley, and is responsible for managing a 'Rapid Access Clinic' where he provides management advice to GPs regarding elderly and frail patients. Dr Jha also runs a ‘Fracture Risk Assessment & Osteoporosis Service’ providing bone density scanning (DXA) and specialist treatment for osteoporosis using injections. He is a specialist for assessing falls, managing dizziness, confirming TIA and treating Parkinson’s disease, as well as organising rehabilitation for poor mobility.
