STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service, (begun in October, 1966, for students of
the West London College and extended in 1968 to include students at the
Hammersmith College), was continued throughout 1969.
Dr.Margaret Capra, a full-time Medical Officer on the staff who undertakes
the Service, continued to receive great co-operation and help throughout
the year from the Principals of the Colleges and their staffs.
A summary of arrangements was given in my previous Annual Reports.
The Commonest Complaints
1. Anxieties
(a)Associated with parents or boy friends.
(b)Travelling - many students travel long distances and are tired.
(c)Living accommodation - many students live in "Digs" and do their
own cooking, which is often very inadequate.
2. Indigestion
3. Dyamenorrhoea and other gynaecological problems
4. Insomnia
The sessions have continued to be interesting both for doctor and for
students, who were found to be relaxed and ready to discuss their problems.
It was clear that some students required help from both physical and psychiatric
aspects.
