In April, 1942, two extra ante-natal sessions were started—one
at Lordship Lane Centre and one at The Chestnuts Welfare Centre.
In August two new War-time nurseries, Parkhurst and Downhills
were opened and a health visitor has visited these nurseries
daily.
Visual Education by films, charts and cookery demonstrations
were held at Park Lane Municipal Health Centre during the year
and were much appreciated.
Baby bathing demonstrations have continued during the year
for "school leavers."
A health visitor was seconded during 1942 to Bengeo House for
three weeks, and to Braunston Nursery School for three weeks.
Health visitors have acted as lecturers to the students at the
various war-time nurseries, preparing for the examination of the
National Society of Childrens Nurseries, and have also given
demonstrations of the various phases of the maternity and child
welfare work at the centres.
