Although the health education activities evidenced are considerable, particularly
when it is remembered that the staff most concerned are those taking a large part in
giving talks to and supervising visits of experience for student nurses and other students,
of which details are given at page 123, the position is not one for complacency. Notwithstanding
the obvious advantages that parent/teacher associations present as audiences
the number of occasions on which it has been possible to put on programmes for them
has been quite small, whilst some subjects, and notably cancer education with the
connection between heavy smoking and cancer of the lung, have so far only received
sparse attention. Many of the 217 talks on the health services have been general but such
specific services as the work of the health visitor, district nurse, domiciliary midwife
and home helps have been included.
