Health Education
The importance of education in the field of public health and preventive
medicine cannot be over-emphasized. Posters, leaflets, and other material dealing
with various health matters obtained from the Central Council for Health Education
and material made available by the London County Council relating to diphtheria
immunisation, home accidents and other health topics and services were exhibited
and displayed at Council establishments and other suitable premises throughout the
borough.
Much can be done by personal contact and lectures. Talks and film shows on
all aspects of public health work were undertaken by members of the department
and given to organisations, societies and interested bodies within the area.
This service has established a very useful liaison with an interested section
of the general public and the work of the Health Department, and its scope is being
extended.
