General Publicity
The effectiveness of posters and leaflets is debatable, but there is so much antihealth
advertising that there must be some visual information to counteract it. It is
ironical that if information is not available it is quickly missed. General publicity on
a monthly subject basis has therefore continued. Subjects covered are as follows :
Dental Health
Immunisation
Prevention of Burns and Scalds
Nutrition and weight control
Venereal Diseases
Food Hygiene
Holiday Health
Cervical Cytology
Care of the Elderly
Water Safety
Displays and Exhibitions
Window Displays
Displays were mounted at Gateway House, concerning care of the elderly and fireworks.
A display showing the safe use of fireworks was also mounted at Friern Barnet
Town Hall.
Health Education in other Organisations
Requests for talks, film shows etc. on health matters came from various organisations
and sections of the community. These included :
Industrial groups 1
Youth organisations 33
Mothers, Young wives,
Womens & Mens 29
Parent/teacher 14
Old Peoples Clubs & Voluntary Bodies
The above talks covered a wide variety of health topics. A total of 134 film shows
were undertaken during the year.
