In-Service Training in Health Education
A one-day course in poster and small display was arranged for clinic nurses to enable
them to make optimum use of material sent to clinics for display.
A three-day course in the teaching of psychophysical preparation for childbirth was
organised for midwives and health visitors who had not previously received tuition, in order
that they might train their expectant mothers.
In July a one-week course in teaching method was arranged for those health visitors who
are undertaking health education in schools. This was found to be of great benefit to the
participants.
Reviews of current films were arranged on four occasions during the year in order that staff
might evaluate their possible use in health education and a lecture on The Drug Problem and
Health Education was organised for a multi-disciplinary group.
Help was given to many members of staff and students with projects which their course
requires of them.
