Police are searching bushland in the Blue Mountains for a NSW man missing for a week.

Kim Mackell, 64, was last seen at Central Railway Station in Sydney between 6pm and 7pm on December 18.

Police say he was dropped at his Blue Mountains home at Shipley Road, Blackheath, by a taxi around 10pm.

There are serious concerns for Mr Mackell's welfare as he suffers medical conditions that require medication, police say.

A search involving officers, the police airwing and volunteers is under way in dense bushland near Mr Mackell's home.
