Dr. Richard Augustus Weston

Dr. Richard Augustus Weston is one of the most experienced Internal Medicine specialists practising in Antigua and Barbuda, with over 21 years of clinical service at Mount St. John's Medical Centre. As a specialist in a small island nation, Dr. Weston provides a level of secondary care that would otherwise require patients to travel abroad. He manages complex chronic conditions — particularly cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and renal disease — for both residents and international patients. He is a member of both the Antigua and Barbuda Medical Association and the Caribbean Medical Association, remaining connected to regional clinical developments.

Dr. Weston holds an MD and the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP), a qualification reflecting advanced training in internal medicine to international standards. His postgraduate formation in Internal Medicine equipped him to manage multi-system chronic disease, a critical competency in a Caribbean island population with high rates of non-communicable diseases.

Dr. Weston conducts internal medicine consultations, chronic disease management, and cardiac assessments at Mount St. John's Medical Centre. His clinical focus includes the management of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and anaemia — conditions that are prevalent across the Caribbean region. He provides specialist-level assessment and ongoing care for patients who might otherwise need to travel to Barbados or Trinidad for physician review.

Dr. Weston's work is primarily clinical in a small island healthcare setting. No formal research publications are on record at this time. He contributes to regional professional dialogue through his membership of the Caribbean Medical Association and participates in continuing medical education to maintain his specialist competencies.

Dr. Weston sees patients at Mount St. John's Medical Centre in St. John's. International patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or cardiac disease who are visiting or residing in Antigua and Barbuda can seek specialist internal medicine advice from Dr. Weston in person. Where investigations or interventions beyond the island's capacity are needed, he can advise on appropriate referral to regional medical facilities.

Dr. Weston is regarded as one of the senior internal medicine physicians in Antigua and Barbuda. His long service at Mount St. John's Medical Centre and his role in managing complex chronic conditions on the island are a recognised contribution to local healthcare. No formal individual awards are publicly recorded at this time.
