About this service
Medicine: a starting point for adult health
Medicine helps patients navigate common symptoms, complex or ongoing conditions and decisions about which specialist to consult. A general physician may assess the overall problem and recommend a more focused specialty where appropriate.
Related specialties
Diabetes and endocrinology, cardiology, neuromedicine, physical medicine, haematology, nephrology and gastroenterology are related fields, but they are not interchangeable. Each doctor's approved discipline is shown separately in the directory.
Before you visit
Bring prescriptions, earlier test reports and a list of medicines you currently take. Check the published doctors and call the hospital to confirm who is available for your particular problem. Sudden chest pain, serious breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms or loss of consciousness require urgent medical assessment.
