Following the lifting of restrictions by the Government, we would like to reassure all our patients that the way we interact with you will not be changing. All staff and consultants will continue to wear face coverings and maintain social distancing, and we require our patients and visitors to do the same, so that we are all protected.

General medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases of the internal organs. It focuses on adult care.

Here at Berkshire Independent Hospital we treat a wide range of general medical conditions including: diabetes, liver and pancreatic illnesses, neurology, elderly care, respite and convalescence care, gastroenterology and rheumatology.

We have consultant physicians with broad experience in internal medicine, as well as consultants who provide specialist care for patients. Our general medicine consultants are supported by specialist diagnostic imaging services, a highly skilled nursing team, clinical physiotherapists and, consultant specialists and surgeons as required.

  • elderly care – strokes, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and falls
