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 at the Royal National Orthopaedic
Hospital and its branch at Stanmore, and Mr. Busfield is an Orthopaedic Consultant
at Hi 11 ingdon 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.
Referrals to these clinics usually follow from routine medical inspection at
schools, from the general school clinic, from family doctors and a small number from
other hospitals.
The figures for attendance during 1967 are:-
