The equivalent totals for 1965 were 2078 persons nursed,
and 49341 visits. Whilst therefore the number of patients has
remained practically static, the number of visits paid to patients
has increased by 38%, largely due to terminal cases being
discharged from hospital for nursing at home. The number of
patients requiring two, or in some instances, three visits daily
has therefore increased considerably.
During the year, the Home Nurses, together with the Health
Visitors assisted in the field work training of 129 student nurses
from Oldchurch Hospital. In addition 12 lectures were given
by Health Visitors and Home Nurses to the student nurses at
this Hospital.
