Schools, and Nurse Moullin with the Brentford Senior Schools,
St. John's School, St. Paul's Mixed and the Clifden Road
Infants' School.
Each Nurse is apportioned a district for Home Visiting
corresponding as far as possible with the schools she attends.
This visiting is carried out in conjunction with the duties as
Health Visitor.
Nursing duties in the Minor Ailment Clinics are shared by
the six Nurses. Nurses Moullin and Thompson attend the
Ophthalmic Clinic in their respective areas and Nurse Clarke
attends the Rheumatism Clinic.
The Orthopaedic Nurse and Masseuse (from the Royal
National Orthopaedic Hospital) attends at the Orthopaedic
Clinic at Brentford each Monday and Thursday afternoon during
the school year.
2.—CO-ORDINATION.
The co-ordination between the School Medical and
Maternity and Child Welfare Services was as in previous years,
and parents were encouraged to bring their children of
pre-school age to the Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics, so
that such defects as Carious Teeth, enlarged Tonsils and
Adenoids and errors of vision might be attended to before the
commencement of school life.
