Core Tip	The weekend effect is gaining academic and political interest. It is important to consider departmental set ups that avoid potentially increased mortality in sick patients admitted on the weekend. Here we evaluate hip fracture patients admitted to a United Kingdom teaching hospital prior to the recent media and political interest, in a centre that had been commended for its care of hip fracture patients. There is no increased mortality in those admitted on a weekend - confirming that it is possible to negate a “weekend effect” with the appropriate infrastructure for hip fracture patients.
