Visits
The Centre has received a variety of visitors throughout this period including the
usual groups of student nurses from Guy's Hospital and King's College Hospital,
sixteen girls from Friern Road Secondary School, a visit of Swedish students arranged
through Bede House Association, German Civil Servants and American students. We
have also received a visit from the B.B.C. 'Nation Wide' television team who made a
short film on the function of the Centre and the history of the Peckham Experiment.
Meetings
During the year four general practitioners' luncheons were arranged. Films were
shown and lectures given by Consultants from local hospitals and the meetings were
very well attended. The Annual General Meeting of the British Medical Association
was held in June when Mr. Andrew Cruikshank was the speaker and the usual meetings
took place of the South East London Obstetric Society, the South London Faculty
of the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Psychiatric Club, the Centre's
Medical Staff Committee and the House Committee.
