STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service began in October, 1966, for students of the
West London College and was extended in 1968 to include students at the
Hammersmith College for Further Education.
Dr. Margaret Capra, a full-time Medical Officer on the staff, who
conducts the Service, has continued to receive great co-operation and help
throughout the year from the Principals of the Colleges and their staffs.
A summary of the arrangements has been given in my previous Annual
