On the one hand…, on the other hand

1. A walk-in centre provides easy access for everyone, not just for people in the community. 2. NHS WiCs cover everything from treatment for coughs and rashes to open-heart surgery. 3. Most centres are open outside office hours. I think it’s very convenient for patients. 4. They get lots of children with different medical problems under the age of two. 5. Unfortunately nurses are very busy at WiCs and have no time to talk to the patients and discuss matters. 6. One can find out the location of the nearest WiC very easily. 7. Some NHS WiCs offer access to doctors as well as nurses.

19. Tell about the work of any primary care service within the NHS using the following word combinations:

GP: to provide a wide range of health services, examinations and treatment, vaccinations, prescriptions for medicines, referrals to other health services, to see a doctor within two working days, book in advance, an appointment, to work in group practice.

A&E: toassess and treat patients, to call 999, loss of consciousness, breathing difficulties, severe chest pain, to operate 24 hours a day, to diagnose and treat within four hours of arrival.

WiCs: to be a successful complementary service, tooffer a range of treatment, minor illnesses and injuries, specially trained nurse practitioners, staff nurses and healthcare assistants, to be open 365 days a year, from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, around three million patients.
