REPORT FROM THE SOUTH WEST LONDON MASS X RAY SERVICE
(SUPPLIED BY COURTESY OF DR F. A. NASH MEDICAL DIRECTOR)
The Central Mass X Ray Centre at Western Hospital, Seagrave Road,
Fulham, from which the South West London Mass X Ray Service operates
three mobile Units, continued throughout the year to provide a regular
one-day a week service to the public. Although people from all parts of
South West London attend there, the Centre is particularly used by
those who live or work in Fulham. In addition to private individuals,
who can attend between 2-4 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. on Wednesdays,
many general practitioners in the Borough refer their patients there,
and employees from local firms and organisations attend hy arrangement
with the managements concerned.
