In addition an assistant supervisor of a junior training centre is undergoing
a one year course of training leading to the award of the Diploma of the
National Association for Mental Health.
Pupil Public Health Inspectors
There are ten pupil public health inspectors undergoing theoretical
training at Tottenham Technical College but two are having their practical training
in the London Borough of Redbridge in accordance with the special scheme
approved by tne Greater London Whitley Council. All pupils employed by this .
Authority undergo a three year course of training.
Three of the pupils sat for and passed the Diploma examination of the
Public Health Inspectors Education Board and one, a woman, was awarded the
Gold Medal, by the Association of Public Health Inspectors in the 1967 Ronald
Williams Memorial Awards as the most outstanding student of the year.
Pupil Midwives
As part of the local health authorities functions under the provisions
of the Midwives Act, 1951, this Council provides accommodation and training for
pupil midwives. Details of the amount undertaken in 1967 are set out on Page
25.
Reciprocal Arrangements
In addition to ensuring that staff receive adequate training, this Council
undertakes to give training to staff of other organisations. For instance,
nursing, social and medical students from hospital schools visit the maternal
and child health centres, day nurseries, and mental health establishments as
part of their training. I am pleased to be able to offer these facilities as
it enables students in all the fields of the health services to learn something
from each other and so foster the close liaison that is so necessary in our
work.
