HEALTH VISITORS AND CLINIC NURSES
During 1968 two full-time health visitors resigned and two
full-time and one part-time health visitors were appointed. A
Fieldwork Instructor Health Visitor was appointed to fill the
long-standing vacancy. Two student health visitors, whose
training had been sponsored by the Borough, successfully
completed the Course and joined the staff as full-time health
visitors in September, 1968.
Two students were sponsored for training as health visitors
in the current academic year. Student health visitors from the
Barking Regional College are accepted for their practical work
placements and work under the direction of the Field Work
Instructors.
One T.B. Visitor (full-time) retired at the end of December
and in accordance with the changing pattern in the field of T.B.
care, she has not been replaced — the work being re-organised and
absorbed by other members of staff.
One part-time Clinic Nurse resigned during the year, and
one was appointed to fill the vacancy.
