Ante-Natal Clinics.
These Clinics, held both at Brentford and Chiswick, were again
very popular. In the Chiswick area I had the very valuable
assistance of Dr. M. T. Day.
As pointed out last year, practically all expectant mothers
booked to enter our Maternity Hospital attended one or other
of these Clinics, but as this Hospital is unable to cope with the
large number of applications for admission received, many
applicants have to enter the West Middlesex Hospital Maternity
Wards and are required to attend the Ante-Natal Clinics held
in connection with that Institution. Hence complete details of
the expectant mothers attending the Ante-Natal Clinics are not
available.
Home visiting by the Nursing Staff is available when
necessary and forms an important branch of the work.
