    A big hospital is like a small town; it needs thousands of people to make it work.
    All these people are organized into teams and each person in each team has a rank and
    often a specialism. In the past, the health care team’s chain of command was simple:
    doctors made decisions and gave senior nurses orders. Senior nurses then instructed
    junior nurses, and so on. Things are changing. In many countries nurses have much
    more responsibility than they once had.
    One thing is not changing; it is still a doctor who is in charge of a patient’s
    treatment. In Britain, that doctor is called a consultant. Next in line to the consultant is
    the registrar. Consultants and registrars train the junior doctors who are called house
    officers or interns. Junior doctors work the same long, unsocial hours that nurses do on
    the wards. The most senior nurses are nursing officers; they are administrators. Then
    come ward managers who supervise staff nurses and students.
    It is not only doctors and nurses who deliver treatment and care; there are many
    other specialists too. For example, there are physiotherapists who specialize in
    exercises to treat injury or dysfunction and occupational therapists who help patients
    manage every-day living. There are also many people the patient does not meet like lab
    technicians doing the tests and pharmacists dispensing medicines.
    Like any town, a hospital has teams of office staff and ancillary workers such as
    porters, orderlies, technicians, drivers, cleaners, receptionists and cooks. Every team is
    essential for the delivery of treatment and care. This includes the volunteers who,
    without pay, raise money for the hospital and run shops, cinemas, libraries and
    restaurants.

    ACTIVITY 4
