HEALTH EDUCATION
A list of titles of talks, etc., available on a wide variety of health matters with brief
explanatory notes is circulated to all suitable organisations in the Borough in September each
year, as the majority of talks are requested in the winter months.
The principal subjects on which attention was concentrated were 'Clean Air', 'Home Safety'
and 'Smoking and Health'.
Clean Air is dealt with on page 39 under Smoke Control Areas.
Also of interest were (a) a series of talks on Public Health to a group of Fulham Boy
Scouts in preparation for their Public Health Badge, (b) a short series of talks on the work of
the Public Health Department given to hospital students, and (c) two discussion groups with
the Fulham Panel of Builders, one on drainage and the other on the treatment of woodworm.
Other subjects dealt with were:
London's Water Supply
Food Infection
Diet and Nutrition
Insect Pests
Work for the Elderly
Fire Prevention
The Department is very fortunate in having a number of members on the staff, both technical
and administrative, who are competent and willing to give talks or hold discussion groups on
some particular aspect of health education, usually outside the normal working hours.
