The'access to beds in the in-patient unit at Queen Mary's Hospital
for Children, Carshalton, has saved the clinic from many a tight corner,
and it is a relief to know that children who are severely depressed and
who show a complete disintegration of behaviour can be admitted at short
notice to this hospital.
There has been some reorganisation of our secretarial services.
Mrs. J.I. Meadows was appointed as Senior secretary and she is assisted
by Misses K. Knott, I. Boggis and L. Pickett, the last named acts as
Receptionist and telephonist.
Dr. S.M. Ring continues as Senior Registrar and Dr. S. Shivanathan
has succeeded Dr. A. Fraser as Psychiatric Registrar at the clinic.
Our peripheral clinics continue to prosper well and our thanks are
due to Miss M.S. Gradwell at the Parkway clinic, New Addington, and
Mrs. E, Gee who acts at the Lodge Road and Purley clinics. Dr. J. Mills,
seconded from the Croydon health authority for two sessions a few years
ago, now has the experience and confidence to take a valuable therapeutic
role at the central and Purley clinics.
