Health at the Centre
The latest developments in healthcare on show at Walton-on-Thames community health centre
The community health centre is "the biggest advance in general practice since antibiotics" as one doctor puts it, enabling doctors to work together rather than individually in their own houses. Healthcare has been a popular subject for documentary filmmakers since before the days of the National Health Service. See, for example, District Nurse (1952) which is also available to view on BFI Player.
