OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
In 1961 thirty five patients received treatment from the
Occupational Therapy Department of the Chest Clinic. As only a
very small proportion of these were able to attend classes it
was decided to discontinue the class sessions and send any
patients who were able to attend to the Welfare Occupational
Therapy departments. The classes finished in July.
From the productivity point of view, 1961 was a good year
and patients made large Quantities of saleable articles of a
high standard. A successful sale of work was held at Queen's
Hospital in December and practically all the goods were sold.
The showcase in the entrance hall at the Clinic continues to
serve a very useful purpose and patients have received many
orders for the articles which are displayed there. Receiving
orders for their work gives the patients a great deal of
pleasure and a sense of being useful.
