About the General Medicine department
General medicine, also called internal medicine, deals with the diagnosis and non-surgical management of illness in adults. It is often the first point of contact for undiagnosed symptoms, and the department that co-ordinates care when someone has more than one condition. Our physicians also carry out the medical assessment that clears patients for surgery and manage medical conditions during recovery.

Frequently asked questions
What does a general physician treat?+
A general physician diagnoses and manages medical conditions in adults without surgery — including diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid problems, infections and breathing conditions — and refers to a specialist when a specific problem needs focused care.
Why do I need a medical check-up before surgery?+
A pre-operative assessment confirms that your heart, lungs, blood sugar, blood pressure and medications are in a safe state for anaesthesia and surgery. It helps the surgical and anaesthesia teams plan and reduces the chance of complications.
How often should I have a health check-up?+
For most healthy adults an annual check is reasonable. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or another long-term condition, your doctor will advise a more frequent schedule based on your readings and medication.
