Junior doctors work the same long, ‘unsocial hours that nurses do on the wards. The most senior nurses are nursing officers; they are administrators. Then come ward managers who supervise staffnurses and students tis not only doctors and nurses who deliver treatment and care; there are many other specialists too. For example, there are physiotherapists who specialize in exercises to treat injury or dysfunction and cccupational therapists who help patients manage every-day living. There are also many people the patient does not meet like lab technicians doing the tests and pharmacists dispensing medicines.
