In many accident and emergency (A&E) departments doctors still wear white coats or their ordinary clothes, rather than a type of uniform, which, should it become contaminated, can be changed easily for a clean uniform. Before a change of clothing to a uniform could be considered in an inner-city A&E department, a study was carried out to assess the public's perception towards different styles of dress. Three hundred and twenty-nine questionnaires were returned by minor injury patients requiring a radiograph. The study was carried out over 3 weeks in January 1993. Each week a different style of dress was worn: week 1--white coats, week 2--normal clothing and week 3--theatre greens. The majority of patients thought that style of dress was important but did not alter their attitude towards the A&E medical staff. Therefore, there is no reason why doctors should not wear a more appropriate uniform that can be changed easily when contaminated.
在许多事故与急救（A&E）科室，医生仍穿着白大褂或便服，而非一种一旦被污染就能轻松更换为干净制服的制服类型。在内城区的一个事故与急救科室考虑换装为制服之前，进行了一项研究以评估公众对不同着装风格的看法。329份问卷由需要拍X光片的轻伤患者返还。该研究于1993年1月进行了3周。每周穿着不同风格的服装：第1周——白大褂，第2周——便服，第3周——手术服。大多数患者认为着装风格很重要，但这并未改变他们对事故与急救科室医护人员的态度。因此，医生没有理由不穿着一种更合适的、被污染时能轻松更换的制服。
