Arrangements for a successor to Mr. Garrick Wilson are practically completed, and on the advice of the Hon. Staff it has been decided to inaugurate a Fracture Clinic. The scheme for the re-organisation of the Orthopaedic Department is being drawn up and will be put into operation at an early date. The Board trust that the new Clinic will prove of great benefit to the numerous accident cases with which the Hospital has to deal. Dr. N. R. Pooler resigned his position as Honorary Anaesthetist on being appointed Honorary Assistant to the Pathological and Bacteriological Department, and Dr. A. Jeffrey, M.B., Ch.B.(Edinburgh), has been elected to fill the vacancy. A Psychiatric Clinic for the treatment of nervous disorders was opened in September, under the charge of Dr. E. L.
