ALEXANDRA MATERNITY HOME.
Alexandra Maternity Home is now recognised by the
Central Midwives' Board as a Part II Training School, which
means that we may appoint eight pupil midwives at a time from
candidates who are already State Registered Nurses and who
have passed the Part I examination of the Board.
Four of these pupils will work for three months at the
Maternity Home and three months attached to one of the
Council's Disrict Midwives. They also attend the Ante-Natal
Clinics conducted by Dr. Harris, Obstetric Surgeon at the Home.
It is unnecessary for me to emphasise the influence these new
developments will have in raising the whole standard of the
Maternity service in the Borough.
I am,
Your obedient servant,
R. P. GARROW.
Medical Officer of Health.
