Professor Adam Gordon, MBE PhD MBChB MMedSci(Clin Ed) FRCP FRCPEdin

Profile

Adam Gordon is inaugural Professor of Care of Older People at the Academic Centre for Healthy Ageing, based between the Wolfson Institute of Population Health, Barts Health NHS Trust and Whipps Cross Hospital.  His clinical background is in Geriatric Medicine and he trained in Edinburgh, Sydney and the East Midlands before going on to work as a consultant in Nottingham and Derby for 15 years.  For his last decade in Nottingham he was Professor of Care of Older People in the Centre for Rehabilitation and Ageing Research.  He leads a broad research portfolio considering healthcare of older people with frailty, focussed to a large extent on how we deliver healthcare to older people living in care homes, although he also does research in rehabilitation, the application of novel technologies for care of older people, and muscle wasting (sarcopenia).  He uses a wide range of methodologies from clinical trials, through to mixed methods implementation studies, and in context evaluations of novel technologies.  He has led numerous developments around education in ageing and geriatric medicine and has been involved in writing and evaluating three iterations of the British Geriatrics Society Recommended Undergraduate Curriculum in Ageing and Geriatric Medicine.  He has been active in the policy space, leading the British Geriatrics Society between 2022 and 2024 and writing numerous policy papers and guidelines during this time.  He is an NIHR Senior Investigator and leads the Care Home and Ambulatory Workstream of the NIHR Oxford Healthtech Research Centre.  He was awarded the MBE in the Kings Birthday Honours 2024 for services to healthcare of older people.
