The benefits which patients can derive from Occupational
Therapy have already been outlined in my previous reports;
but of almost equal importance is that the Instructor should create
and maintain an atmosphere of friendliness and goodwill at the
Centre which will encourage patients to attend.
Mrs. S. A. Wiltshire, the Instructor since the opening of the
Centre four years ago, has taken a very keen interest in the work
and welfare of the patients. It is due mainly to her efforts that the
Centre has gained such a high reputation among patients and the
public.
