Public Service, Internal Medicine
Description
General Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and non-surgical management of diseases in adults, with over 4,000 admissions each year via the Emergency Department and Medical Admission Unit (MAU). This fully acute service manages patients who have multiple medical problems and are not specifically being managed by a specialty service.
General Medicine Specialists are the doctors who have trained in a wide discipline of internal medicine covering the entire body. Often people have more than one part of the body involved in an illness or the exact cause of symptoms is not clear. The General Medicine Specialist is an expert in diagnosing what is wrong and providing a comprehensive care for patients with complex health issues.
All acute stroke presentations to Dunedin Hospital are admitted to the Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) under General Medicine.
Outpatient clinics are currently delivered at Dunedin Hospital
