Orthopaedic Clinic.
I am indebted to Mr. K. F. Hulbert, F.R.C.S., for
the following report on the orthopaedic Clinic:—
The Orthopaedic Clinic has continued for the past
year at the Welling Clinic on the first and third
Wednesdays of every month.
There has been a dropping off in the number of
attendances to a certain extent, but the type of case remains
the same.
We are still very handicapped for treatment on
account of the poor accommodation in the present
building, but Miss Cheeseman, the Physiotherapist has
carried on very well in spite of all difficulties.
Dental Treatment.
I am indebted to Mr. Wade, L.D.S., Dental Surgeon,
for the following report:—
Maternity and Child Welfare. As you are aware we are
still treating these patients for the County and this still
means that treatment for the school population is behindhand.
Education. It is with regret that I note that lectures on
Dental Hygiene have not yet been arranged as suggested
in my previous reports. The appalling ignorance on this
subject in the district is most marked.
Orthodontic Trenment. Much headway has been made
in this branch and many treatments have been completed
entirely satisfactorily. Parents and patients have cooperated
well.
Cases of interest. Several cases of apisectomy have been
treated at the Eastman Dental Hospital followed by the
fitting of jacket crowns. Our thanks is due to the
hospital for its readiness to help in these complicated
and difficult cases.
Hurst Road. There are indications that the Mobile Unit
should visit this school again as it appears the new Dental
Clinic there will not be built for an indefinite time.
