A health education panel of representatives from the various health department
disciplines meets to discuss developments, new material and articles for the quarterly
booklet.
Again it must be emphasised that the most important function of the section is
the helping of doctors, dentists, health visitors, nurses, public health inspectors and
others to be health educators.
