Endocrinology consultations in Torquay
Endocrinology concerns involve hormones and the glands that produce them. Professor Kennedy’s published clinical interests include diabetes, thyroid conditions, bone health, pituitary and reproductive endocrinology, and complex health problems associated with obesity.
An individual consultation may involve reviewing symptoms, medical history, medicines, test results and previous specialist information. Recommendations depend on clinical assessment and may include further investigation, treatment, monitoring or coordination with other practitioners.
General internal medicine
General internal medicine focuses on adult patients with complex, multiple or difficult-to-define medical problems. A specialist review can help assess how different conditions, medicines and symptoms may relate to one another and support a coordinated care plan.
Diabetes and metabolic health
Professor Kennedy’s interests include integrating lifestyle and medical management for diabetes, weight management and related complex health problems. Care is personalised; no particular treatment or outcome can be guaranteed. Patients may continue to work with their regular GP and other clinicians as appropriate.
Thyroid, bone and pituitary health
Specialist assessment may be relevant for selected thyroid, bone, pituitary or reproductive hormone concerns. The appropriate tests and management depend on existing results, symptoms, medical history and referral information.
