摘要
The United Kingdom's health care is provided free at the point of delivery by the National Health Service (NHS). The NHS uses an internal market model to fund health care, as opposed to using a provider-purchaser partnership model. Hand surgery is provided by plastic surgeons and trauma and orthopaedic surgeons. The nationalized system has disadvantages and benefits. This environment is heavily cost controlled, with some restrictions on individual practice and associated long waiting times. The advantages include a large population base for research in hand surgery and careful monitoring systems for problems with devices and recommendations for various treatments.
