Area Served
The catchment area of the Edgware Chest Clinic includes the Borough of Hendon,
the Edgware and Stanmore postal districts of the Borough of Harrow and the Borough
of Wembley north of the Kingsbury Road. Health Visitors and Welfare Staff appointed
by the Middlesex County Council work at the clinic as a sociomedical team with the
medical staff and are responsible primarily for the area mentioned. Nevertheless,
many patients living outside the area attend the clinic if referred by their practitioners
for an opinion.
Liaison
On the public health and welfare side of the work close liaison is maintained
with the Middlesex County Council's Health Department, and in particular with the
Area Medical Officers and their Staffs and with the School Health Service, The
co-operation of the Medical Officers of Health of the Boroughs of Harrow Hendon and
Wembley is often sought and invariably received. The Welfare Department of the
Clinic has liaison with both statutory and voluntary organisations such as Employment
Exchanges, the National Assistance Board, local Ministry of National Insurance
Officers, the Housing Departments of Local Authorities, the Chest and Heart Association,
local Councils of Social Services, etc. etc.
For the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of our work there is close co-operation
with Edgware General and Colindale Hospitals of whose staffs our physicians are
members. Patients are also often referred to Clare Hall, Harefield and St, Charles
