The British National Health Service came into existence in 1948 to
provide free medical treatment of every kind. If a person is sick he goes
first to see his general practitioner (GP), who treats minor illnesses.
Family doctors work alone or in partnerships with surgeons and bigger
urban medical centres, and when necessary go to see patients at their
homes. Everyone is normally on the list of a general practitioner (or
family doctor), who keeps full records of all treatments and over the years
gets to know 2,000 or more people on his or her list.
General practitioners refer people to hospital, if necessary, for
more specialized treatment, also free of charge both for outpatients
and for those who have to stay in hospital.
