Pronto soccorso e le sue caratteristiche

ER is for life-threatening situations, is funded by the government, open 24/7, long waiting time if not an urgent injury, required by law to treat anyone who requests it even if uninsured
Urgent care centre: deals with non-life threatening injures, privately funded, determines its own hours of operation, its main mission is to provide immediate medical care when a patient’s GP is not avaible, has the right to refuse uninsured patiens

Differenze tra pazienti ambulatoriali e ricoverati

Outpatients stanno solo durante il giorno e non la notte, ad esempio hanno un appuntamento

Inpatients sono admitted to the hospital, potrebbero essere outpatients se hai un appuntamento e ti trattengono.
National health service

Responsible for health of everyone in UK

They do free treatment except for a prescription charge for drugs and appliances (devices: I robi per sentire, etc)

Appointment basis

Home visits are made when patiens are homebound or illSurgery in british English potrebbe voler dire non solo chirurgia:

L’edificio dove lavorano iGPs, vuol dire anche il tempo in cui I GPs sono disponibili per vedere I pazienti.
