3. CO-ORDINATION
(a) Staff.—Co-ordination was secured by the fact that all the
school health staff also carried out duties for other health services.
The school nursing staff was equivalent to seven whole time nurses.
(b) Family Doctors.—Family doctors were informed as to the
findings of specialists in regard to children referred for specialist
diagnosis and treatment.
A "two-way" printed letter was introduced to facilitate communication
with family doctors.
(c) Reports from Hospitals.—Few hospitals sent a summary on
discharge of children from their wards. When such summaries were
received they were of great value and were attached to the appropriate
medical files.
(d) Liaison with Hospital Services.—The medical and nursing
staff continued to visit in turn the ward rounds of Dr. Hinden,
Paediatrician, at Whipps Cross Hospital.
