  Gwent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gwent is the area of south-easternmost Wales, in the Welsh Marches.
The mediæval British kingdom of Gwent was the area between the rivers Usk and Wye, and took a name that literally means 'place', or 'the place'.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, writers began using the name "Gwent" in a romantic literary way to describe Monmouthshire, and in the local government re-organisations of 1974/5, many new administrative areas in Britain were named after mediæval kingdoms — such as Cumbria, Strathclyde and "Gwent".

 Emergency general surgical referrals
Referral for emergency surgical admission is to the on-call pre-registration house officer by the general practitioner, and to the on-call senior house surgeon by the accident and emergency department.
It appears to be less popular with junior hospital staff as the quality of information tends to be reduced and direct dialogue with the general practitioner is generally discouraged.
Admission to hospital may be required for many reasons, in a manner similar to the principle of Gestalt, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
