The National Health Service Act (1946) recognized two types of hospitals, the Teaching and Non-teaching. The former was linked with a medical school and placed under a different administration to that of the latter. This distinction has caused an unfortunate misconception, as the Teaching Hospital under the Act refers solely to undergraduate teaching, whereas every hospital with a resident staff is by the terms of the Act an institution where post-graduate teaching should take place and especially so if any of the resident staff are fulfilling the pre-registration year demanded by the Act. It should, therefore, be incumbent upon all Hospital Management Committees to provide the essential facilities for this post-graduate education from the point of view of the Administration ; and the Visiting Staff should provide the postgraduate instruction. The Hospital Management Committees could provide library accommodation for the resident staff; it should be comfortable, warm, well illuminated, and quiet. It should contain a few journals and some standard text-books and books of reference. Among the latter such a work as British Surgical Practice with its supplementary volumes and the corresponding one on Medical Practice would be most useful. To some extent
