I much regret to record that Miss E. G. Rickeard,
who acted as Assistant Nurse for work at the Infant
Welfare Clinics for a number of years, died in January,
1934. Miss E. E. H. Schlund was appointed in her
place.
Under the Teddington Rotary Club's generous
scheme for the provision of convalescent treatment in
necessitous cases, arrangements were made for four
mothers and four children to be sent away during the
year. All cases derived great benefit and there was a
marked improvement in their general health.
Four mothers received assistance in the obtaining of
dentures through the Ivory Cross Society. Each mother
has to make a contribution towards the cost of the necessary
dental treatment in all cases helped by his Society.
The Council have an arrangement with the Middlesex
County Council whereby children under five years of age
attending the Centre may receive dental treatment at the
County Council's School Clinic in Stanley Road. The
following cases were dealt with during the year:—
Referred for treatment 28
Treatment received 25
,, refused 2
,, postponed 1
The work of the Centre is strictly of a preventive and
advisory nature, and any children needing treatment are
referred to their own doctor. Under this heading several
cases of tonsillectomy and circumcision were treated at
the Teddington, Hampton Wick & District Memorial
Hospital. Sunlight treatment was also provided at this
Hospital. A number of cases attending outside hospitals
were kept under observation during the year.
