Abstract:
Advances in technology have led to the increased availability of mobile telephones, but their use in an NHS hospital has not previously been reported. Junior doctors require easy access to a telephone, but ward telephones are frequently busy and not readily accessible when urgently needed. A one-year retrospective study was carried out on the use of mobile telephones in a small district general hospital.
