Reception On 22 November 1999, three days before the series première, then director of Channel 4 Gub Neal called for the BBC to cease production of its drama programmes. Neal highlighted ''Holby City'' as an example of the station's "safe" programming, denouncing what he perceived to be the abandonment of quality productions in favour of star-led series and "an endless soup of indistinctive programmes". Reviewing "Search for the Hero", ''The Guardian'' Nancy Banks-Smith commented on the series' casting: "I had the uneasy sensation that I had met half these people before in assorte ...

Nurse
Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in many specialties with differing levels of prescription authority. Nurses comprise the largest component of most healthcare environments; but there is evidence of international shortages of qualified nurses. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has shaped the public image of nurses as care providers. Nurse practitioners are nurses with a graduate degree in advanced practice nursing. They are however permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings. Since the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced an ...

Irish usage NCHD grades in order, from most junior to most senior: * Intern — ( post-graduate year 1) * Senior house officer — (PGY ≥ 2) * Registrar — (PGY ≥ 3) * Specialist registrar — (PGY ≥ 4) * Fellow (PGY variable) In Ireland, physicians typically spend one year as an intern, before becoming a Senior House Officer (SHO).
