The number of individual visits made to each case depends
on the amount of support required by the family, for example, parents
of young babies and handicapped children require fairly frequent
visits.
With an increase in establishment and the growth of the
health visitors' work in the health education field, one of our health
visitors was relieved of her geographical area in July and became
responsible for the following duties:
1. The devising and preparation of health education
displays in schools and clinics.
2. The provision of assistance to health visitors
requiring visual aids and material for school
and mothercraft talks.
3. The preparation and delivery of lessons in
schools and parentcraft meetings.
4. The ordering of films, posters and leaflets.
5. Relieving health visitors, when necessary, in
clinics and schools.
The part time clinic nurses who are state registered nurses
have been of much assistance to the health visitors. The clinic
nurses have been responsible for preparation of routine medical
inspections in all senior schools and for the general medical
sessions at clinics, and all immunisations.
A clinic nurse is also in charge of the under five year
olds at the clinic's mothers' club.
