The success of the in-service training course in 1968 for selected groups of home
helps allowed us to expand the scope of the training which we were offering. The
course consisted of five separate talks, followed by discussions, each session lasting
altogether about two-and-a-half hours.
The Home Help Organiser gave the introductory and final talks. During the
sessions a principal medical officer, a mental welfare officer, a welfare officer, a
midwife and a home nurse all gave addresses. The Health Education Officer gave
a practical demonstration on the prevention of accidents in the home. A further
demonstration was given with the help of the Casualties Union, during the Home
Nursing sessions. The talk on mental welfare included the showing of the film
"Stress".
The continued success of this in-service training is most encouraging.
