I feel honoured, as a layman, to have the privilege of presiding. The conception of Medicine, like that of all our social services, is expanding. With the rapidity of transport and our increasing interdependence the problems of the various countries can seldom be dealt with in isolation. The smallpox of India today may be the epidemic of London in the matter of a few days. The illiteracy and malnutrition of the Far East has rapid repercussions on our own economy. We condition our welfare services in the light of a World Health Organization. We would all agree that education and health generally go together-so before the true value of a health programme can be appreciated, there must be an understanding of its objects and methods.","PeriodicalId":86095,"journal":{"name":"Journal.

The need to raise the health standards of individals and communities in our society is obvious. It is seen not only in the incidence of serious yet preventable ill-health, but also in the indifferent health endured by many; it is evident in the consequent and material losses borne by society and, above all, in the existence of unnecessary physical and mental pain and suffering in our midst. The raising of health standards is the aim of health education, the sum of all the efforts made to this end. Health education is the responsibility of many individuals and institutions, but among those with special responsibilities are parents, teachers, and public health workers. Unfortunately, however, the health education of children by their parents is frequently casual and indifferent, of pupils by their teachers generally limited in scope and results, and that of the public by health authorities less effective than it might be, not through any lack of desire to promote it, but because of limited acquaintance with and practice in the application of appropriate methods. We are not concerned here with the health education of children and young people by parents or teachers, but with that of the general public by health authorities.

{"title":"The planning of a general hospital, with particular reference to the new Alexandria Hospital, Dunbartonshire.","authors":"J L GLEAVE","doi":"10.1177/146642405407400808","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/146642405407400808","url":null,"abstract":"emergency spacing the wards will take up to 280. The ancillary accommodation is larger than usual for this size of hospital as there are two operating theatres, each of which can take two tables in emergency; the kitchen is equipped to provide meals for 600; the laboratory and laundry are for Area use and administration accommodates the local board of management offices. As far as we know, this is the first complete hospital built in Britain for many years, and, as such, provided an opportunity for research into such matters as planning for economy of staffing and general maintenance, the maximum reduction in walking and service distances, the study of flexibility to allow for future changes, as well as consideration of ideas gained from the latest American and European examples and the research of the Nuffield Trust on hospital design. Study was also given, in this particular case, to the design of a structure capable of withstanding unusual horizontal stress and of prototype standardization of structure to facilitate pre-ordering and pre-site fabrication to allow speedy and economical erection. The site of the hospital is a small sheltered valley at the south of Loch Lomond. There are fairly high hills to the west and south of the site, the direction of the Clyde and industrial areas. There are low hills to the east, but it is fairly open to the north, giving a view of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond from the approach road and forecourt of the hospital. The line of the natural valley runs approximately north and south, so that the main spine of the scheme placed itself along this valley. Road access, sewer outfall, and gas, water and electricity services connect to the site at the north-east corner, so that the north end of the services spine is the receiving end for all goods and services. The prevailing wind is from the south-west which also placed the boiler house chimney at the north end of the spine. In passing I should mention that two major decisions regarding the general policy of the hospital design were accepted after due consideration of all their implications. The first decision was that it was decided to build a low rather than multi-storey hospital to ensure that the buildings are sheltered by the surrounding hills from winds and rainstorms. While it was always the aim to reduce internal distances to a minimum, the low buildings give dispersal and allow that adequate light, air and shelter are available to the different blocks if they are raised to their maximum three storeys in height. The second decision was, that although the north-south axis of the hospital gives east and west orientation to the long sides of the wards, it was decided that where opposition of requirements arose, aspect and orientation of wards should be sacrificed to obtain compactness in planning.","PeriodicalId":86095,"journal":{"name":"Journal.

Since 1945 the expansion of housing and the need to prevent the drift of labour from the countryside has been such that the rural worker now expects the same amenities as his colleague in the town. Intentions have been good and legislation, particularly the Rural Water Supplies and Sewerage Acts, did much to make possible the provision of piped water and main drainage. Good intentions, however, are not always enough, and it is a pity that the excuse of restriction of capital expenditure is delaying necessary work. The word excuse is deliberately used, as it is not easy to reconcile government expenditure in some fields with cuts in the capital programme of rural work. Extensive expenditure is often fought against by the public themselves who would be the main beneficiaries, and this is di$cult to appreciate while there is so much ’ personal spending on private enjoyment. The question now is what could and should be done, and in order to answer that I will set out present legislation as it affects the cost of rural sewerage and water supplies.","PeriodicalId":86095,"journal":{"name":"Journal.
