Experience and expertise 

Dr Harry Wu is a dedicated and caring geriatrician who specialises in the health and wellbeing of older adults. He provides warm, patient-centred care, focusing on the whole person. Partnering with his patients, Harry provides specialist input across all aspects of geriatric medicine, with advanced expertise in the following challenges commonly encountered in general practice:

• Memory care and cognitive decline: Providing early assessment and management for memory concerns, confusion, or cognitive deterioration.
• Falls and reduced mobility: Investigating falls to identify contributing factors, improve balance, address bone health, and support independence.
• Frailty and functional decline: Offering a comprehensive evaluation of frailty with targeted strategies to maintain strength, resilience, and wellbeing.
• Safe medication management: Conducting expert reviews to reduce medication complexity, manage interactions, and mitigate side effects that may worsen frailty or cognition.
• Holistic management of people with multimorbidity: Personalised treatment plans that consider medical, cognitive, and emotional dimensions—aligned with the patient’s goals and preferences.

His goal is to help his patients stabilise symptoms, improve quality of life, maintain independence, and prevent hospitalisation.

Harry is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP), having completed his specialist training at Royal North Shore Hospital. To ensure his patients receive modern, cutting-edge care, he undertook advanced PhD training in geriatric medicine and translational ageing research at the Kolling Institute of Medical Research and Royal North Shore Hospital. This extensive experience, combined with collaborations with leading international experts, allows him to bring the latest medical research directly into his clinical practice. His research has been published in numerous prestigious international medical journals, and he is a co-author of international medical textbooks on geriatric medicine and gerontology. This ensures his care is not only based on established best practices but also incorporates the most scientifically up-to-date treatments tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Harry works closely with his patients, their families, and general practitioners to develop a comprehensive and personalised care plan. His holistic approach involves collaborating closely with other allied health professionals here at Brellah, including our dietitian, exercise physiologist, and psychologist. Harry’s commitment is to protect and enhance health, dignity, and quality of life, ensuring every patient feels heard and supported on their health journey.
