VISITS ARRANGED FOR STUDENTS
Half or full day visits were arranged for students during the year. A total of 447
students visited various branches of the department during 1968; they included medical
students, hospital nurses in training, child care students, matrons of old people's homes,
and students from a variety of other disciplines. The importance of the experience gained
was appreciated and foundations were laid for good co-operation in the future. Continuing
a former practice, local girls taking civic or social service courses in school attended
day nurseries and gave voluntary help.
