HOME NURSING (Section 25)
The Nursing Superintendent of District Nurses, Miss A. Williams,
S.R.N., S.C.M., Q.I., H.V. Cert., reports as follows:—
A good nursing service has been given to the patients in the Borough
during the year 1962 by the five whole-time General District Nurses
and the one part-time nurse who was appointed on the 24th April,
1962.
A great deal of the work undertaken by the nurses during the year
has been the care of the elderly and chronic sick patients. Good cooperation
has been maintained with Langthorne Hospital for the care
of patients on the six weeks in and out basis. This system is working
well and is a great help to the patients' relatives and to the nursing
staff.
Student Nurses from Wanstead Hospital have been taken into the
homes of the patients throughout the year to get an insight into the
domiciliary work.
