They will typically run out-patient departments, clinics, A & E, out of hours GP services. Beds will account for a relatively small number of Doctors/Nurses. The hospital will be where you go be sent for tests required by your GP, x-rays etc. Doctors and Nurses can work at different hospitals, some out-patient clinics will operate in different hospitals on different days and different clinics will use the same space on different days. In the UK I would assume the numbers employed would be quoted per trust (local group of hospitals), rather than by individual hospital.
