television the british medical association s special committee report it is noteworthy that associated television s emergency ward 10 which exemplifies the fictional approach to medicine and doctors is one of the most popular television serials and is watched regularly by an enormous audience this programme has helped to relieve many members of the public of anxiety and fear about hospital treatment the series also helps to make them familiar with the work of hospital doctors and it presents them as likeable human beings at the same time these things are done in a way which appears to provide compulsive viewing for television audiences those responsible for emergency ward 10 deserve thanks for the work they do in drawing the attention of their audience to such important matters as the need for radiographers the danger of unguarded fires and the urgent need for careful driving warnings about matters of this kind are introduced incidentally and with skill during the course of an episode and this is an extremely effective way of conveying information in accordance with the accepted principles of preventive medicine medicine on radio and television memorandum of evidence

assistant and a medical adviser the picture below right shows a medical adviser scriptwriter diana morgan production assistant carol williams producer john cooper and scriptwriter rachel grieve all contribute ideas for the episodes which will reach production in about six weeks time and as a result of the interaction of the existing plots the medical and personal circumstances of staff and patients the availability of actors and so on the new story lines are agreed the scriptwriters take it in turns to write an episode where necessary checking with the resident medical adviser or other consultants within a week of the script conference the producer and the medical adviser receive first draft scripts for the two episodes the medical adviser notes any corrections which may be necessary for medical accuracy and suitability and the producer incorporates these with any revisions he may consider desirable the revised script is then duplicated and after the casting has been agreed with atv s casting department copies are given to the designer and the director who will be responsible for the particular episodes currently the directors working on emergency ward 10 under

the main the positions of the sets and props are marked by adhesive coloured tapes laid on the floor of the rehearsal room by the floor manager or his assistant from these stark beginnings the skills of the director actors and technicians will within a week have created another chapter in the history of the oxbridge hospital i feel sure you will be interested to learn that as a result of the various scenes of emergency ward 10 dealing with blood transfusion the attendance at many of our blood collecting sessions has been much greater than we have experienced for some time and in view of the many comments made to us by many of our donors i feel sure that this response is due principally to the excellent way in which the need for blood donors is conveyed in your programme regional
