Skin Clinic
Dr. P.M. Deville, M.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., Consultant Dermatologist, holds a
fortnightly session at Upney Clinic where a wide variety of skin lesions are diagnosed
and treated.
As a subsidiary of the above clinic, a wart clinic is conducted by one of your
Medical Officers and through her vigilance in regard to periodic foot inspections
in the schools, the incidence of fungus and viral infections of the feet is consderably
restricted.
Child Guidance
The number of cases referred to the Child Guidance Clinic was 43.
We are indebted to the staff of the Child Guidance Clinic held at Loxford hall
Ilford, for their valuable help in dealing with our children's psychological problems.
The co-operation is of the highest order but alas owing to the increasing
number of children we would like attended to and the shortage of trained staff,
this service is very limited.
These cases, though given a fairly early first visit appointment, may have to
wait many months before treatment can even be started. I an convinced that early
treatment of these cases is imperative if we are to be able to make a major contribution
in the prevention of mental illness.
Orthopaedic Clinic
The number of school children referred to Mr. Whitchurch Howell during the
year was 43.
