In a stereotypical fashion all Doctors on the game are male, and they're essential to curing patients as they run the GP's Office. It's always best to hire one with a higher attention-to-detail as they make less mistakes and therefore result in less deaths. Also look out for skill levels. They mainly diagnose and perform things like surgery and other clinics.  They also may have a few different qualifications:  Pyschiatrist,Researcher,Surgeon.

Not essential really, but you should have a few. They help keep the place tidy, water the plants and repair equpiment. Hire enough to cover the amount of space in your hospital. You should have no less than two even in small hospitals. As usual go for high attention-to-detail for better service. I recommend you change the settings to give 1 caretaker full priority for one task, another with full priority for another task and so on. Obviously if you have no plants, you don't need someone to water them :)

Template:All Game Nav Nothing will happen in the hospital, unless you employ some staff. There are four basic types of staff in Theme Hospital. They are doctor, nurse, caretaker and receptionist. Each is fairly essential to give any chance of a successful hospital.

Doctor

In a stereotypical fashion all Doctors on the game are male, and they're essential to curing patients as they run the GP's Office. It's always best to hire one with a higher attention-to-detail as they make less mistakes and therefore result in less deaths. Also look out for skill levels. They mainly diagnose and perform things like surgery and other clinics. They also may have a few different qualifications: Pyschiatrist,Researcher,Surgeon. Of course the higher the level of qualification the higher the cost to hire. See which rooms need which qualifications below. There is also three diffrent levels of experience:

Junior
Who come with no qualifications, and must be trained but are cheap to hire.
Doctor
Normal Doctor
Consultant
Can train other Doctors new skills, but cannot get new qualifications themselves.

Different Qualifications are needed in each room. Ensure you have enough doctors to cover every room, then while a room isn't being used you can rest them, swap them around etc. depending on their tiredness.

Doctors are required in:

  • GP's Office (Any Doctor)
  • General Diagnosis (Any Doctor)
  • Cardiogram (Any Doctor)
  • Scanner (Any Doctor)
  • Ultrascan (Any Doctor)
  • Blood Machine (Any Doctor)
  • X-Ray (Any Doctor)
  • Psychiatric (Pyschiatrist)
  • Operating Theater (2 Surgeons)
  • Inflation (Any Doctor)
  • DNA Fixer (Researcher)
  • Hair Restoration (Any Doctor)
  • Slack Tongue Clinic (Any Doctor)
  • Electrolysis (Any Doctor)
  • Jelly Vat (Any Doctor)
  • Decontamination (Any Doctor)
  • Research Department (Resercher)

Remember Doctors with Qualifications can also do Normal Doctors jobs as well if needed.

Nurse

This time only Women are available to take the role of the nurse. These will be needed to cure quite a few diseases you will come across at an early stage. As with doctors a higher attention-to-detail and skill level will make them better and in turn make your hospital better. Rest them when required and keep them happy for better results. There are no extra qualifications a nurse can have.

Nurses are required in:

  • Pharmacy
  • Ward
  • Fracture Clinic

Caretaker

Not essential really, but you should have a few. They help keep the place tidy, water the plants and repair equpiment. Hire enough to cover the amount of space in your hospital. You should have no less than two even in small hospitals. As usual go for high attention-to-detail for better service. I recommend you change the settings to give 1 caretaker full priority for one task, another with full priority for another task and so on. Obviously if you have no plants, you don't need someone to water them :)

Receptionist

The MOST essential part to any hospital. Without her no-one would come to your hospital. Make sure you hire someone with high stats (as usual) and read the bios to find someone who sounds nice. Not really much to do with them, they don't even need a rest at the staff room. Each receptionist needs a desk to stand behind (see Furniture)
