How we see you
Internal medicine looks after the whole person rather than a single organ. People come with a fever that lingers, tiredness nobody has explained, weight loss, aching joints, or several conditions followed by several doctors whose treatments have ended up piling on top of one another. The internist’s role is to gather all of that into a clear picture, then say what really matters.
The first consultation is long, and deliberately so. The doctor goes over your story from the beginning, reads the reports and results you bring, lists every one of your treatments and examines you from head to toe. Further blood tests are done in the ground-floor laboratory and imaging next door, often in the same morning.
The internist does not replace your other doctors; they connect them. Their report, added to your patient space, sums up your health problems, your up-to-date treatments and what still needs clarifying. The clinic’s cardiologist, endocrinologist or gastroenterologist refers to it, and your GP can be sent a copy.
People often come for…
A few common reasons, put the way patients put them. They help you find the right door; they say nothing about what you have.
- Prolonged fever
- Unexplained tiredness
- Several long-term conditions
- Full health check
- Joint pain
- Unintended weight loss
What we examine and take care of
Every situation is different: the consultation, and only the consultation, decides what comes next.
Unexplained symptoms
A lingering fever, persistent tiredness or unintended weight loss, investigated methodically rather than at random.
Several conditions at once
Diabetes, blood pressure, heart, kidneys: an overview when several long-term conditions are followed side by side.
Reviewing treatments
The full list of what you take, read through to spot duplicates, interactions and anything no longer needed.
Joints and inflammation
Aching joints, signs of inflammation in blood tests, or a known inflammatory condition.
A full health check
A thorough examination and targeted tests based on your age, your history and the way you live.
Tests, on site
The tests this specialty asks for most often are done here, without changing address.
A first consultation, step by step
Arrival
After the ground-floor reception you are seen on the first floor, wing A. Allow plenty of time: this first consultation is longer than most.
Your whole story
The doctor goes through your history, hospital stays, past results and each of your treatments, one by one.
A full examination
You are examined from head to toe, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, skin and lymph nodes, and your blood pressure and weight are taken.
A written summary
Any tests needed are done on site, and a written summary and the date of your results appointment are added to your patient space.
What to bring
- All your reports, hospital letters and test results, even old ones, ideally in date order
- All your current prescriptions, or the boxes of your medicines, including anything taken without a prescription
- The names and contact details of your other doctors
- If you have a fever, a record of your temperatures over the last few days

Common questions
When should I see an internist rather than my GP?
Your GP remains your first port of call. An internist helps when a symptom persists without explanation despite first tests, or when several conditions and treatments complicate one another. Your GP can refer you, but you can also book directly.
Will my GP be kept informed?
If you wish, yes. The internist’s report can be handed or sent to them, and you will also find it in your patient space to show them yourself. The aim is not to take their place but to give them an up-to-date overview.
Are the tests done on the same day?
Often, yes. Blood is taken in the ground-floor laboratory, and imaging is next door. Some results take several days; they arrive in your patient space and are discussed at your results appointment, on site or by video.
Should I come fasting?
Not for the consultation. If blood tests are planned for the same morning, some are done fasting: you are told when you book, and the instruction is in your patient space. Do not stop any treatment without speaking to your doctor first.
