Use of nurse practitioners in major accident and emergency (A&E) departments is rapidly increasing: currently they are used in 30% of such departments and this is expected to rise to 63% by the end of 1995. Most are trained by a formal programme in the employing hospital but 12% claim to have no formal training. The nurse practitioner could prescribe a limited range of drugs in 82% of major departments with 'official' nurse practitioners, but radiograph requesting was permitted in only 57% of such departments: of those not able to request radiographs, 95% blamed radiographers for preventing this.
在主要的事故与急救（A&E）部门，执业护士的使用正在迅速增加：目前30%的此类部门在使用他们，预计到1995年底这一比例将升至63%。大多数执业护士是通过所在医院的正规培训项目培养出来的，但有12%的人声称没有接受过正规培训。在设有“官方”执业护士的主要部门中，82%的部门执业护士能够开具范围有限的药物，但只有57%的此类部门允许执业护士申请X光检查：在那些无法申请X光检查的部门中，95%的人指责放射技师阻止他们这样做。
