Staff Training
Four district nurses were successful in obtaining the National Certificate of District
Nursing and two state enrolled nurses passed the Assessment of the Queen's Institute
of District Nursing.
In-Service Training
A series of study afternoons was arranged for staff, particularly district nurses
working within doctors' surgeries, to refresh on techniques, particularly ear syringing
and blood pressure readings. Participation in study days with local hospitals has
been the outstanding feature of this past year; subjects have included renal dialysis,
blood diseases and the Salmon and Cogwheel reports.
Observation Visits
During the year 84 persons accompanied the district nurses on their visits. They
were:—
Hospital nurses 16
Physiotherapy students 21
Pupil midwives 44
Overseas visitors 3
Integrated Students
Participation in the training programme with King's College Hospital and Croydon
Technical College has continued, with an intake of four students in their first year
and five students in the third year of the continuing programme.
