Hospitals provide medical assessment, diagnosis and treatment for people with illness, injury or ongoing health needs. They may be general hospitals serving a wide range of conditions or specialist hospitals focused on areas such as cancer care, mental health, children's health or rehabilitation. Services are delivered by multidisciplinary teams, including doctors, nurses, midwives, therapists and diagnostic staff, and may be provided through NHS services, private treatment or a combination. Patients may attend as outpatients for consultations, tests and follow-up, or be admitted for inpatient care, surgery or monitoring. Depending on the hospital, facilities can include emergency departments, operating theatres, maternity units, intensive care, imaging and laboratory services, pharmacies and rehabilitation departments. Some hospitals offer planned procedures and specialist clinics, while others provide urgent and emergency treatment.
