Our contacts with overseas agencies are still maintained and this year students from Malaysia received
advice on how to create and maintain a health education service.
Students from the Centre for Educational Development Overseas and student nurses and health
visitors from other authorities also received practical instruction in the method and content of health
education; the Women's National Cancer Control Campaign again invited the health education officer to
speak at their national conference.
LIAISON WITH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AGENCIES
Jones Brothers
The medical and nursing staff of Messrs. Jones Brothers, anxious that members of the staff be made
aware of some of the health problems which abound today, have welcomed talks on smoking, family
planning, alcoholism, V.D. etc.
British Petroleum
Negotiations are proceeding for health education staff to give talks and demonstrations at the offices
of this large company to its staff of many hundreds, on subjects such as cervical cytology. The introduction
of a smoking advisory clinic is also under consideration.
Sovereign Pencil and Stationery Company
The medical adviser and nursing staff of this company which has a large factory are keen for the many
staff to receive information on health topics; talks have been given on venereal disease, family planning
and smoking.
FURTHER EXPANSION
The staff of the section have been fully employed throughout the year and, as the call for health
education continues to increase, the Council has included in the budget for the department a sum to
provide for the appointment of additional staff to help meet the demand.
