  • MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff the People Who Work
    MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS 2 Hospital Staff The people who work in any type of workplace, including hospitals, are called the staff. The medical staff in a British hospital belong to one of four main groups: • A pre-registration house officer (PRHO), or house officer, is a newly graduated doctor in the first year of postgraduate training. After a year, he or she becomes a registered medical practitioner. In the current system of training, the Foundation Programme, the name for these junior doctors is Foundation Year 1 doctor (FYI). • A senior house officer (SHO) is in the second year of postgraduate training. The title is now Foundation Year 2 doctor (FY2), but the old terms senior house officer and SHO are still used. • A specialist registrar (SpR) is a doctor who has completed the Foundation Programme, and is training in one of the medical specialties. There are also some non-training registrars -- doctors who have completed their training but do not wish to specialize yet. • A consultant is a fully qualified specialist. There may also be some associate specialists – senior doctors who do not wish to become consultants. In addition, there is at least one medical (or clinical) director, who is responsible for all of the medical staff. Medical Teams Consultant physicians and surgeons are responsible for a specific number of patients in the hospital. Each consultant has a team of junior doctors to help care for those patients. In many hospitals, there are multidisciplinary teams which consist not only of doctors but also of physiotherapists and other allied health professionals. When patients enter- or are admitted to –hospital, they are usually seen first by one of the junior doctors on the ward where they will receive treatment and care.

  • The General Practitioner and the Hospital*
    LECTURES AND ADDRESSES The general practitioner and the hospital* D. BURRELL, M.B., Ch.B., D.Obst.R.C.O.G., M.R.C.G.P. Basingtoke 1OR the last 18 years I have been closely associated with a cottage hospital and i general-practitioner maternity unit. The interest they give to the family doctor and the confidence he can instil into his own patients mast not be lost sight ofin the changing pattern of practice. The closed door of the district and teaching hospital to all who are not on the consultant staff is a tragedy of the growth of the Health Service. This dichotomy between hospital and community practice has deep-seated roots in their different disciplines and methods. We must not underestimate these since they produce professional tension and sometimes antagonisms and may become more marked as technological complexity increases-the stronghold ofthe consultant cannot be stormed by the mass of general practitioners, we must have a plan of integration that will be to the benefit of patient, consultant and general practitioner, and we shall have to work hard to have this plan accepted and even harder to make it work. In Britain, to quote the Report and Recommendations of a Ministry of Health Interview Board on discussion in N. America with British Trained Doctors (1968), the National Health Service has inspired "an incisive separation . between hospital and general practice." This is not a plea to return to the 'good old days'-but'rather an attempt to put in perspective the various possibilities for a better continuity of care of the patient and a closer relationship between general practitioner and hospital practice.
