Admissions

In Britain, most people who fall ill are treated at home by their family doctors. Not all
illnesses can be treated at home, however, so many people are admitted to hospital at some time
during their lives.
Arranged Admissions
At the clinic he is examined, his previous history is carried out. If admission is
recommended, his name is put on a waiting list and when a bed in an appropriate ward becomes
vacant, he is sent a letter which tells him when to report to the hospital for admission. With this
letter, most hospitals enclose a leaflet telling the patient what he will need while he is in hospital.
Emergency Admissions
Nowadays, many people go into hospital as a result of accidents or sudden illnesses.
These patients are called emergency admissions. Unlike arranged admissions, little or nothing is
known about emergency admissions or their previous histories. They are usually taken to the
casualty and emergency department by ambulance. They are often unconscious. In the casualty
department, they are carried out. If possible their previous histories are taken.
