Note
A regular plural whose meaning shifts with the setting. In business, consultants are outsiders paid for their expertise or advice in a specialty. In a British or Irish hospital, though, the consultants are the senior physicians and surgeons who have completed specialist training, roughly what North Americans call attending physicians. There, 'the consultants' are the doctors in charge, not hired advisers.
