This study investigates the changes the introduction of the National Health Service (NHS) brought to a former workhouse. The take-over by the NHS changed this workhouse from an infirmary mainly caring for the aged and chronic sick to a hospital mostly caring for acutely ill people. As a consequence, nursing at this institution probably lost some of the expertise it possessed in caring for the aged and the chronic sick.
本研究调查了国民医疗服务体系(NHS)的引入给一所前济贫院带来的变化。NHS的接管使这所济贫院从一个主要照顾老年人和慢性病患者的医务室变成了一个主要照顾急症患者的医院。因此,该机构的护理工作可能失去了一些在照顾老年人和慢性病患者方面所拥有的专业知识。
