Staff views on orthopaedic patients' accommodation.
Alternative accommodation to traditional wards may be suitable for some orthopaedic patients. Doctors and nurses in this study had different views about patient accommodation. Little reference to patient choice was made by either doctors or nurses. Further research is needed on different staff groups regarding factors influencing discharge decision-making.
