PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE
Miss J. McBride, M.C.S.P., A.P.T.A.,
Superintendent Physiotherapist
The reorganised Physiotherapy Service has now been functioning for a
year and during that time Clinics have been successfully maintained at
Lodge Road, St.James's Road, Waddon, Purley, Sanderstead, New Addington
and Old Coulsdon. Since we have sufficient staff it is now possible to ask
a child to attend the Clinic nearest to its home; there are therapists working
for the Maternity Service at Chipstead Valley, Addiscombe Grove, East
Croydon and Stanley Halls in South Norwood, who are only too willing to
treat any school children in those areas also. On two occasions it has not
been practical for a severely burnt child to attend for treatment; this has
therefore been provided on a domiciliary basis.
The greater proportion of our work occurs at St. Giles' School where
there are now two Senior Therapists later to be joined by an assistant. A
part-timer is actively engaged in the hydrotherapy pool once a week, and
