The Clinic has been erected on a site situated on the West side
of Goodmayes Lane adjoining the Mayfield Central School.
The new building faces South-East and is of two storeys.
The front entrance to the building is approached from Goodmayes
Lane and the Entrance Lobby affords access to a spacious Waiting
Hall on each side of which are placed the various Consulting and
Treatment Rooms. On the left hand side, the Minor Treatment and
Weighing Room and one Consulting Room, and on the right hand
side the Orthopaedic Clinic, Dressing Room (with 6 cubicles), and
another Consulting Room.
The exit doors at rear of Waiting Hall open out to a covered
way leading to the Bathroom Block.
The staircase in front lobby leads to another Waiting Hall on
the first floor, on the right hand side of which are placed the Dentist's
Room, Recovery Room and Consulting Room, and on the left a
Consulting Room, Office, Stores and Kitchen. The flooring of the
Waiting Halls, Dental Clinic and Minor Treatment Room are laid
in terrazzo, the Consulting Rooms in wood blocks and the Orthopaedic
Clinic in rubber.
Lavatory accommodation has been placed in accessible positions
at the rear of Waiting Halls on both floors.
Provision has been made at the rear of the building for the
shelter of perambulators during inclement weather.
The building is an all-electric one, the heating being by means
of tubular heaters and wall and ceiling panels.
The Education Committee decided that the Minor Treatment
Clinic be held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and
that children from the following schools should attend: Becontree,
Goodmayes, Gordon, Chadwell, St. Vincent's, South Park, Mayfield
and S. S. Peter and Paul.
The architectural treatment follows very closely that of the
Mayfield Central School, and the two blocks, together with the
Caretaker's Lodge, form a particularly pleasing group of buildings.
