Dr. Billinghurst and Dr. Woodhouse were newly appointed during the year and
commenced their duties in April and May respectively.
Sessions are held weekly at Avenue Road and at the remaining clinics a
double session is held on alternate weeks. Dr. Bradley and Dr. Billinghurst are
members of the staff at Central Middlesex Hospital and Dr. Woodhouse is a member
of the staff at King Edward Memorial Hospital. There is thus a close link between
our clinics and the local hospitals and any operative or other treatment required
can be readily obtained without a break in continuity.

In addition to the consultant sessions, an orthoptic clinic at Avenue Road
functions for four sessions a week. An additional orthoptic clinic at Ravenor Park
started on the 8th November, 1966, and is held every other week.

Orthopaedic Service
Orthopaedic sessions are carried out in the Borough as follows:
Mattock Lane Clinic Monthly
Mr.J.A. Cholmeley, F.R.C.S.
Ravenor Park Clinic Alternate
Weeks
Northcote Clinic Monthly Mr. P.I. Busfield, F.R.C.S.
Mr. Cholmeley is an Orthopaedic Surgeon to the Royal National Orthopaedic
Hospital and its branch at Stanmore, and Mr. Busfield is an Orthopaedic Consultant
at Hillingdon Hospital.
Hospital facilities which include operative treatment, x-ray, provision of
appliances and pathological investigations, are, therefore, freely available to the
children attending our clinics and who thus remain under the same consultant
surgeon throughout their treatment. Admission to hospital can be arranged promptly
and subsequently follow-up by consultant and physiotherapist at the local clinic
does not involve undue travelling.
