Mothercraft and Relaxation Classes
An additional class was commenced early in the year at Stroud
Green Clinic, Hornsey. This type of valuable instruction is now
available for expectant mothers at all the clinics.
An in-service training course, at which some health visiting
and midwifery staff attended, was again arranged as in previous years.
The course, under the direction of Mrs. Williams, Physiotherapist,
was considered by the staff attending to be of great value. It is
hoped that in the future similar courses will be arranged, to give all
members of the staff an opportunity of receiving up-to-date instruction.
The following table of attendances at Mothercraft clinics during the year is the highest over the last four years:-
