About the general medicine department
General medicine is where most people start. If you are unwell and do not know which specialist you need, this is the department that works it out — and treats the great majority of problems itself.
It covers acute illness such as fever and infection, and the long-term conditions that need steady management rather than a one-off fix: diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders. Where a problem turns out to need a specialist, the referral happens inside the same hospital.
When to see a physician
General medicine is the right first stop for most adult illness, including all of these.
- Fever that has lasted more than two or three days, or is very high
- Persistent cough, sore throat, or an infection that is not settling
- Newly diagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes
- High blood pressure, or blood pressure readings you are unsure about
- Unexplained tiredness, weight loss or weight gain
- Persistent headache, dizziness or generally feeling unwell
- Abnormal blood test results from a health check
- You are unwell and do not know which department you need
What we provide
Diagnosis of undifferentiated illness
Working out what is wrong when the symptoms could point in several directions. This is the core skill of the department.
Fever and infection
Assessment and treatment of common and seasonal infections, including deciding when antibiotics are and are not appropriate.
Diabetes care
Diagnosis, medication, monitoring and screening for the complications that matter — kidneys, eyes, nerves and feet.
Blood pressure management
Confirming a diagnosis, starting and adjusting treatment, and looking for the causes and consequences of high blood pressure.
Thyroid and hormonal disorders
Assessment and ongoing management of common endocrine problems.
Inpatient medical care
Admission and treatment of medical illness, with intensive care support on site if a patient deteriorates.
How we investigate
General medicine leans heavily on laboratory testing, with imaging where an organ needs to be looked at directly.
- Blood and urine testing, including sugar, kidney, liver and thyroid function
- Infection screening where the source of a fever is unclear
- Imaging where the chest or abdomen needs assessment
- Cardiac testing where symptoms suggest the heart may be involved
What to expect
So that nothing about the visit is a surprise.
- 1
History and examination
What the symptoms are, how long they have lasted, and what else is going on. This decides what happens next more than any single test does.
- 2
Targeted tests
Blood tests, urine tests or imaging, chosen to answer the specific question your symptoms raise rather than run as a routine panel.
- 3
A diagnosis, or a clear next step
What the results show, and if it is not clear yet, what happens next — a repeat test, a short wait, or a referral to a specialist within the hospital.
- 4
Treatment and follow-up
Medication or lifestyle advice, with a plan for when to come back if things do not improve.
Frequently asked questions
Which department should I go to if I don't know what's wrong?
General medicine. Deciding what is wrong is what the department is for, and it will refer you internally if you turn out to need a specialist.
How long should I wait before seeing a doctor about a fever?
See a doctor if a fever lasts more than two or three days, is very high, or comes with breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, a rash, severe headache or persistent vomiting. In a young child, a baby, an elderly person or anyone with a weak immune system, do not wait — get advice early.
Can diabetes be managed here, or do I need a specialist?
Most diabetes is managed well in general medicine, including medication, monitoring and screening for complications. Where the kidneys, eyes, heart or feet are affected, the relevant department is involved — nephrology, cardiology or orthopaedics — without you having to go elsewhere.
