Part of St George's Nursing Collection
Set of three ring binders containing outlines of 'district procedures' (i.e. for the Wandsworth and East Merton District Health Authority), both medical (e.g. 'Cardiac Arrest', 'Temperature (taking of)') and administrative (e.g. 'Patients' Property', 'Deceased Patients (Last Offices)'), arranged alphabetically (C-G, H-R, and S-W) and separated with dividers. Some relate to specific hospitals (St George's; Springfield). Each entry includes lists of 'dangers/special points and related action', principles, equipment, and 'key points'.
The spines of two of the binders are labelled 'District Procedures: Spares', indicating that multiple copies of these documents were kept for reference by hospital staff.
