Handicraft.
The work of Occupational Therapy, definitely instituted
during the early part of the year, has become a welcome and
highly useful part of the organisation. All patients who have
reached a certain grade are expected to take part, and do so
with much interest. Patients who are still in bed, but permitted
to sit up are allowed to occupy part of their day with a light task.
There is no doubt that this addition to the aids to treatment of
the Sanatorium is very valuable.
Consultations
The fortnightly visits of the Consultant enable all cases to
be discussed and their treatments considered. By means of the
complete liaison which exists between the Chest Clinic and the
Sanatorium, all matters of interest or importance affecting
patients are brought to notice and attended to without delay. The
value of Dr. Ellman's advice, which is always available, is gladly
acknowledged.
The visits of the Greatfield Players during the winter months
have been very successful, and much thanks is due to them for
their continued kindness in so ably presenting entertainments for
the patients' amusement.
