OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
1965 has again been a very active year in the Occupational
Therapy Department at the Chest Clinic. There have been more new
patients on treatment than usual, partly due to the extra people
attending Purley Chest Clinic, but largely due to an increasing
interest in home Occupational Therapy.
The possibility of Chest Patients doing some Industrial
Homework has been discussed with the Welfare Department and with
the Croydon Disablement Resettlement Officer, and if the Scheme
can be made to work, will be very satisfactory and beneficial to
the patients.
The Christmas Sale of Work was held at Queen's Hospital
again at the beginning of December, and most of the articles
made during the year were sold.
