Ward Attendances
This overview is intended to aid understanding and interpretation of the figures and should not be considered as definitive guidance. Full definitions of published data items, including guidance for data suppliers, are available in the Data Manual and Data Dictionary.
 

Ward attenders are patients, who are not currently in-patients, who attend a ward for treatment by nursing staff. Examples are maternity patients undergoing monitoring or surgical patients attending to have stitches removed. Patients seeing a doctor on a ward for examination or treatment would be counted as outpatient attendances. Figures are submitted annually on form KH05 by each NHS Trust.
