Content analysis was carried out on medical programmes on BBC television over a three-month period. Television medical programmes were shown to concentrate on hospital-based, technological and expert-dependent issues at the expense of primary care and community health. Images of technology, the hospital and the hospital specialist were found to predominate. Issues such as the family, preventive care, housing and the environment were rarely raised. Doctors appeared and spoke in 94 per cent of programmes, whereas nurses were seen (although not necessarily heard) in 30 per cent. Of 70 doctors interviewed on television, nearly three quarters were hospital doctors or scientists. Only one doctor was explicitly referred to as a general practitioner.
在三个月的时间里，对英国广播公司电视台的医疗节目进行了内容分析。结果显示，电视医疗节目主要聚焦于以医院为基础、依赖技术和专家的问题，而忽视了初级保健和社区卫生。技术、医院和医院专科医生的形象占主导地位。家庭、预防保健、住房和环境等问题很少被提及。在94%的节目中出现并发言的是医生，而护士出现在节目中的比例为30%（虽然不一定有声音）。在接受电视采访的70名医生中，近四分之三是医院医生或科学家。只有一名医生被明确提及是全科医生。
