title: Hospital reconfiguration. Going places.
abstract: Two major hospital moves in Lanarkshire were completed smoothly by predicting the number of emergency admissions likely over the crucial periods and involving GPs and all the hospitals concerned. An analysis of emergency admissions was one factor in deciding which days the moves should take place on. A workshop after the first move was finished proved important.
