Health Visitors
Health Visitors work in the Clinics and also do home visiting. They
are primarily employed as "Health Educators", to advise on the care of young
children, persons suffering from illness, expectant and nursing mothers,
and the measures necessary to prevent the spread of infection. They are
based, according to the area they serve, either at Amity Grove Clinic, Raynes
Park, the Health Centre, Pelham Road, or the Town Hall, Wimbledon.
Ambulances.
The Ambulance Service is provided from the Station in Nursery Road,
Wimbledon, and operates under the Control Station at New Maiden.
School Health Service.
The basis of this Service is the periodical medical and dental
inspection of all children in attendance at the local schools. Special
attention is given to handicapped children, some of whom require to be
admitted to special schools, e.g. those for the deaf, mentally or physically
subnormal. The administrative work of this Service is conducted from the
Health Centre, Pelham Road, Wimbledon.
Day Nursery.
A Day Nursery located at All Saints' Road, Wimbledon, is provided for
