Mews

Mews is a primarily British term formerly describing a row of stables, usually with carriage houses below and living quarters above, built around a paved yard or court, or along a street, behind large city houses, such as those of London, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The word may also refer to the lane, alley or back street onto which such stables open. It is sometimes applied to rows or groups of garages or, more broadly, to a narrow passage or a confined place. Today most mews stables have been converted into dwellings.

An early warning score (EWS) is a guide used by medical services to quickly determine the degree of illness of a patient. It is based on the four cardinal vital signs (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature) and one other observation (level of consciousness on AVPU).
