It is possible to forecast emergency admissions and bed requirements with considerable accuracy up to a year in advance. A model is being developed which would analyse the effects of weather, flu epidemics and different surges in demand.

This paper analyses the role of bed managers and the processes involved in admission, stay, transfer and discharge of patients in the hospital setting. The paper seeks to begin a discussion of the difficulties entailed in the allocation of beds within the context of confined resources. This is achieved by: a review of the somewhat sparse literature on bed management and associated issues; the development of frameworks of analysis with regard to what bed managers do and the information used to support the bed management function; and an explication of results from fieldwork.

Evolutionary programming experiments are conducted on a variant of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. Rather than assume each player having two alternative moves in the stage-game, cooperate or defect, a continuum of possible moves are available. Players' strategies are represented by feed-forward perceptrons with a single hidden layer.

Compared to a normative sample, male doctors exhibit significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression, whereas female doctors compare favourably to the population norms. Job satisfaction levels were significantly lower than when they were measured in 1987, although women were less job dissatisfied than men.
