Skin Clinic
Dr. P.M..Deville, M.R.C.P.,M.R.C.S., Consultant Dermatologist,
attends the Skin Clinic at Upney Clinic twice a month,
and during the year 916 attendances were made to his clinic
where a variety of skin conditions were dealt with, including
some cosmetic blemishes.
As a subsidiary of this Clinic, a "wart" clinic is also held
and in conjunction with periodic foot inspections in schools, we
are pleased to note that the incidence of fungus infections of the
feet, though not entirely eradicated, have definitely been kept
down to a reasonable level.
Child Guidance
The number of cases referred to the Child Guidance Clinic
was 40.
As in the past, co-operation with this clinic has been excellent.
Although we are sorry the waiting list for new patients is
still much too long, we feel this clinic provides an excellent service
and only wish its work could be extended by increased staff.
Orthopaedic Clinic
Mr. Leon Gillis, M.B.E., F.R.C.S., continued as Consultant
Orthopaedic Surgeon and attended fortnightly at the Barking Hospital
until his serious illness towards the end of 1960. From
October onwards Mr..Whitchurch Howell, F.R.C.S., acted as
locum.
The number of school children referred to Mr. Gillis or Mr.
Whitchurch Howell during the year was 53.
