Dunedin Post-Graduate Refresher Course
A Refresher Course for Nurses was held m Dunedin from August 3rd to the 10th inclusive, and was excellently attended, the average attendance m the morning being 20, m the afternoon 36, and m the evening 64. A very interested spirit was manifest, and frequent inquiries were made as to whether this type of course would be repeated. A copy of the syllabus is attached. Several of the lectures given were of outstanding interest and various excursions were planned to demonstrate special subjects. On the Saturday afternoon a very interesting visit was paid to Karitane Harris Hospital. Miss Pattrick gave an excellent lecture on " Natural Feeding," and
afternoon tea was dispensed to over seventy guests. Another very interesting visit was paitl to W'aikari Sanatorium. when Dr. Tythe lectured on " Prevention of Tuberculosis." The group were shown over the institution and again afternoon tea was dispensed, which added to everyone's enjoyment.
These papers were among those contributed at the general meeting of nurses during the Dunedin Refresher Course. The programme of this meeting was ' The Public Health Nursing Situation m Dunedin."
As these two papers introduce fresh avenues to public health nursing work it was felt they would be of interest to " Kai Tiaki."
