Analysis of emergency admissions to six hospitals over three weeks in winter found marked differences in the severity of cases. Some admissions could have been avoided if more investigations had been available on an outpatient basis. Where community services are easily accessible and available seven days a week, those admitted to hospital are likely to be more severely ill. British guidelines are needed on medical admissions.

The concept of evidence-based medicine has received considerable attention, but the distinctive nature of evidence within community nursing has not been fully explored. This study examines the nature of evidence within community nursing and the factors influencing use of evidence.
