These clinics offer advice on personal problems, diet, accident
prevention, and all aspects of social welfare. A great deal of time is given
to each patient and their needs. Small problems such as a change of
glasses or treatment by a chiropodist can make a great deal of difference
to an elderly patient and give improvement in mobility and in general
well-being. Any person found to have a condition requiring further
investigation or treatment is referred to his or her own general practitioner.
A very friendly atmosphere is maintained at these clinics.
