3. Examples of Secondary Care
Secondary Health Care is that which a patient receives when they have been referred to a hospital for specialist treatment. These services include:
appointments with consultants, nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists and other specialists.
emergency treatment following accidents.
surgery and short-term care patients with worrying health symptoms.
people attending hospitals can do so through outpatient clinics or health centres.

5. ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY
One of the problems faced by A&E units has been that people with minor injuries have been dealt with by the same service as those dealing with serious emergencies. This can lead to long waiting times for people with minor injuries if someone with serious injuries arrives.
The Solution:
Two new A&E trauma centres will only deal with seriously ill
Inpatient hospitals- admitted directly to wards
Minor injury units
