HOME NURSING
(Section 25)
The Superintendent of the District Nurses' Home, Miss C.
A. Lee, S.R.N., S.C.M., reports as follows:—
"The year 1950 has been a very busy year on the General
side—less busy on the Midwifery. Bookings, however, for
Midwifery and Maternity cases for 1951 have already shown a
marked increase.
"The two houses 17 and 19, Carisbrooke Road, have been
fully decorated inside and outside, and replacements made
where necessary. It is all very nice and is giving us great
pleasure.
"The arrangements for the Branch Home for Highams
Park, are well under way, and it is hoped will be complete
very soon.
"In view of the increasing population, the provision of
staff living in Highams Park, has become a necessity.
"A further very urgent need is a second car for the Male
Nurse. To be of use in relieving the Nurses of heavy and
unsuitable male cases, the Male Nurse of necessity, has daily to
cover most of Walthamstow.
"Staff on the 31st December, 1950 was as follows:—
1 Superintendent.
1 Full-time Queen's S.R.N., S.C.M.
5 Full-time S.R.N., S.C.M.
1 Full-time S.C.M.
1 Full-time Queen's Male S.R.N.
1 Part-time S.R.N.
1 Part-time S.E.A.N.
1 Part-time Auxiliary Male Nurse.
5 Pupil Midwives.
"24 Pupils during the year entered for District Midwifery
Training.
